PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Boris Gregorovitsj (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kirk St Lazarus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gregorovitsj kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Pink Panther Theme. St Lazarus has chosen No Worries as his entrance music. Boris Gregorovitsj had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.4lbs, 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. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
