PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Black Zeus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sami Holmen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Black Zeus had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.9lbs, 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. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Sami Holmen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
