PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sevak Magakian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Craven Moorehead (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Magakian might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sevak Magakian Highlights. Moorehead has chosen Me So Horny - 2 Live Crew as his entrance music. Sevak Magakian had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.0lbs, 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. Craven Moorehead has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
