PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mohammad El Sayed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jonny Gambler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). El Sayed's entrance music is Stand Up by Trapt. A fine choice. Mohammad El Sayed had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.0lbs, 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. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
