PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Mike Valentine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Warrock Warner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Warner is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Gin Wigmore - Black Sheep . Valentine has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Mike Valentine had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.4lbs, 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. Warrock Warner is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
