PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Gavin Stone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Liam Nate (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Stone might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Disturbed- Run. Gavin Stone had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.2lbs, 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. Both fighter's entrance songs getting the crowd jumping here.
