PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Erik Eriksson (ranked 2418 p4p, 258 weight class) and John Miller (ranked 3952 p4p, 392 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Eriksson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Script - Hall of Fame. John Miller struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.9lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
