T$T-Thursday PBP Commentary |
Co-main event

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Katuro Tisoaka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pavel Kotov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tisoaka's entrance music is Festivo. A fine choice. Both these fighters had to take extra time to make weight as they missed the initial 155lb limit. Katuro Tisoaka came in at 157.1 and Pavel Kotov came in at 156.9 but after the extra two hours, both guys managed to get within the one pound allowance. No doubt it will have affected them physically though, so let's see if that has an impact on the fight. Pavel Kotov acknowledges the crowd's support as he enters the ring.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Naya Shinoki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shrab Kabovik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shinoki kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is wadiako. Shrab Kabovik told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
