PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Lenny Crammer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brian Stanson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Stanson's choice of entrance music: Until The End. Lenny Crammer had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.1lbs, 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. Lenny Crammer looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
