PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Wagner King (ranked 2824 p4p, 267 weight class) and Newy Cute (ranked 4413 p4p, 373 weight class). Wagner King had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.5lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight.
