PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Henry Morgan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Riggs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Henry Morgan had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.2lbs, 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. Henry Morgan has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
