PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Hoffman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcin Piotrowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hoffman kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Crazy Train. Marcin Piotrowski struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.8lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Bobby Hoffman has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
