PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between King Crimson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marty McMillan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McMillan has chosen Windir - Todeswalzer as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. King Crimson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.1lbs, 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. Marty McMillan has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
