PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between John Carter (ranked 964 p4p, 151 weight class) and Jesus Malverde (ranked 1196 p4p, 185 weight class). John Carter had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.7lbs, 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. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
