PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jon Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daniel Gromlin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Gromlin's choice of entrance music: Godsmack: Cryin Like A Bitch . Jon Jones had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.3lbs, 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. Daniel Gromlin has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Jon Jones's chin.
