Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Bolo Yeong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Maciej Borukiewicz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Borukiewicz's choice of entrance music: Eripe & Kiju - Grupa śmierci . Bolo Yeong had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 207.3lbs, 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. On his way into the ring it seems that Bolo Yeong has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Bolo Yeong seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
