PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bill Cosby (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby Green (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bill Cosby had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.7lbs, 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. Bobby Green has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
