PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rick Grimes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ci Chulainn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rick Grimes had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.8lbs, 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. Both fighters will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
