PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andrei Romanov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vladimir Molotav (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Andrei Romanov had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.9lbs, 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. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
