PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Phil Taylor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Scooter McDaniels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Phil Taylor had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.1lbs, 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. Phil Taylor could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Scooter McDaniels's chin.
