PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Levon Charleston (ranked 2522 p4p, 24833 weight class) and Sir Beocca (ranked 326 p4p, 555 weight class). Beocca has chosen Alok & Mojjo - Love Love feat. Gilsons as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Sir Beocca struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.6lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. 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 Sir Beocca was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
