PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Hanzo Hasashi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steffen Goetze (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Goetze has chosen Hellveto - Herezja as his entrance music. Hanzo Hasashi had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.6lbs, 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. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
