PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Soz Sztrova (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harry Moon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sztrova comes into the arena with In a Heartbeat blaring out of the sound system. Soz Sztrova had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.8lbs, 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. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
