PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Nick Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Dunn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dunn has chosen Bia Bia as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Nick Johnson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.0lbs, 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
