PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tim Riggins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lorenzo Garcilazo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tim Riggins 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 fighters will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
