PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mason Storm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Buchanan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Buchanan has chosen T.I. - Every Chance I Get as his entrance music. Mason Storm had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.3lbs, 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. Mason Storm could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Johnny Buchanan's chin.
