PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Wes Underwood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Melvin Lawler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Underwood comes to the cage accompanied by Stronger. Wes Underwood had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.8lbs, 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. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
