V.F.C: Christmas Skull Cracker PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joe Lack (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tiberio Celentano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lack kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is red nation- the game, lil wayne. The crowd seem to be enjoying Celentano's choice of entrance music: The Godfather Theme Song. Joe Lack had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 207.1lbs, 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. Joe Lack has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
