PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Soda Popinkski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Boris Blocksson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Soda Popinkski had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.1lbs, 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. Soda Popinkski could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Boris Blocksson's chin.
