SCL 14: Pride PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ricky Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and George Mathius (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Johnson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rVFi6qkPHE. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Simon Berger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Igor Pujicri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Simon Berger had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.3lbs, 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. Simon Berger looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
