PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Barry Benson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Javy Gandejos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Both these fighters had to take extra time to make weight as they missed the initial 155lb limit. Barry Benson came in at 157.0 and Javy Gandejos came in at 156.2 but after the extra two hours, both guys managed to get within the one pound allowance. No doubt it will have affected them physically though, so let's see if that has an impact on the fight. Barry Benson looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
