PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hugh Jackman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kira Kato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Kato's choice of entrance music: MAD WORLD by Gary Jules. Hugh Jackman had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.5lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
