PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between ping xing ling (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kon Kastas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kon Kastas struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 207.8lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Kon Kastas was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
