PCL 49: The Spartan Defeat PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joe Boxer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Artem Muhomorov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Joe Boxer had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.7lbs, 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. 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 Artem Muhomorov was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Home by BZ's kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman!
