PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Great Tiger (ranked 898 p4p, 102 weight class) and Christian Cyborg (ranked 1594 p4p, 170 weight class). Christian Cyborg struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.1lbs 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. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
