PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johan Machado (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Khal Drogo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Machado comes to the cage accompanied by Enter Sandman. Khal Drogo struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 266.0lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Johan Machado has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
