ENIGMA 57 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andrei Baltaretu (ranked 5555 p4p, 6110 weight class) and Kingsley Nasir (ranked 569 p4p, 606 weight class). Andrei Baltaretu had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 207.0lbs, 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. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Terry Badmean (ranked 2161 p4p, 3139 weight class) and Semmy Cobb (ranked 76 p4p, 108 weight class). Badmean's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Are You Gonna Be My Girl. Cobb has chosen You dropped the Bomb on me as his entrance music. 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 Semmy Cobb was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
