PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between John Lennon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dave Whitewas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). John Lennon had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 137.0lbs, 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 look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
