Highland Island 19 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Troy Resic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Killer Kintal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Kintal's choice of entrance music: slipknot - psychosocial. Troy Resic had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.7lbs, 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. Killer Kintal acknowledges the crowd's support as he enters the cage.
