PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Serge Bibeau (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adam Budgell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Budgell is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: I D.A.R.E. David Bowie To Drive Drunk. Serge Bibeau had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.8lbs, 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. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
