Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Wand Sapp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Victor Lenin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Victor Lenin struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 137.6lbs 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

And that's the end of the fight!
That was a close round. You could make an argument for either fighter but I would give it to Viktor Medved.
Well I reckon that's a shut out for Medved, winning every round. Will the judges agree? They are the ones who matter, even if they are often depressingly incompetent. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards for a decision.
Judge Konstantin Menshow scores the fight for Viktor Medved!
