PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Meng Hao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Landings (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Meng Hao had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.5lbs, 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. Meng Hao has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
