PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mick Ward (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harry Farrow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mick Ward 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. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
