PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Victor Gregorivich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Josh Shatto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gregorivich might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Pot. Shatto has chosen The Night as his entrance music. Josh Shatto struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.9lbs 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. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
