PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Garaile Lban (ranked 1359 p4p, 164 weight class) and Lynton Miller (ranked 1628 p4p, 195 weight class). Garaile Lban had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.5lbs, 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. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
