PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Amos Black (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tim Finnigan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Finnigan is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Finnigan's wake. Tim Finnigan struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 267.4lbs 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. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
