VFC 41: Bull v. Szyslak PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vitus Shavnetski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stuart Flobble (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shavnetski comes to the cage accompanied by DMX - get it on the floor. Vitus Shavnetski had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.1lbs, 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. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between roy bull (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nick Szyslak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think bull might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to do it. Szyslak has chosen Metallica-Enter Sandman as his entrance music. Nick Szyslak is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
