PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Parker John (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roger Prince (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Parker John had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.7lbs, 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. Roger Prince will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
