PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Wolfgang Becker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John McNamara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Becker kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Mr Boombastic. Wolfgang Becker had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.3lbs, 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. Wolfgang Becker looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
