PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Pete Doherty (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jannis Arvanitidis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Doherty comes to the cage accompanied by Skrillex - Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites. Pete Doherty had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.2lbs, 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. Jannis Arvanitidis told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
