PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Help Out (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rory Markman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Help Out had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.3lbs, 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. Help Out is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
