PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mac Bull (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hoban Washburne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mac Bull had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.3lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
