PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Shannon Larratt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tiny Trump (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Larratt kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Cannibal Corpse - Stripped, Raped and Strangled. Shannon Larratt had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.6lbs, 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
