PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Cody Moser (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Ward (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ward has chosen Can't Be Touched as his entrance music. Cody Moser had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.3lbs, 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. Chris Ward told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
