PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between James Jolley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Korey Reid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). James Jolley had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.6lbs, 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. Man, I cannot wait for this one!
