PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hunter Krifus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Goran Spaten (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Krifus comes to the cage accompanied by RAWR. Spaten is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Knockin Boots by Candyman. Hunter Krifus had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.0lbs, 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
