PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mate Orsic (ranked 1809 p4p, 2087 weight class) and Miroslav Drozd (ranked 187 p4p, 213 weight class). Orsic comes to the cage accompanied by KRS One - Rappaz R. N. Dainja. Mate Orsic had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.7lbs, 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. On his way into the cage it seems that Mate Orsic has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mate Orsic seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
