PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Donald Condit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cardio Machine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Condit comes to the cage accompanied by Rise Against - Hero Of War . Machine has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Donald Condit had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.2lbs, 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. Cardio Machine has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
