PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Doctor Greenthumb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Akaki Marjanishvili (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Marjanishvili's choice of entrance music: Sabaton - Panzerkampf. Doctor Greenthumb had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 137.7lbs, 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. Doctor Greenthumb has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
