PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Noramros Vladchex (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steve Foxx (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Foxx has chosen Eye of the tiger as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Noramros Vladchex had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.9lbs, 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. Steve Foxx will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
