PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Vinnie Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ben Ryan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vinnie Jones had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.2lbs, 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. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
