PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Montgomery Nagendra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dimas Boykiy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nagendra comes to the cage accompanied by Mozart - Lacrimosa. Boykiy has chosen Перемен as his entrance music. Montgomery Nagendra had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.3lbs, 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. Montgomery Nagendra looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
