Tipsport Gamechanger offered drama at the weigh-in! One game may be in jeopardy, Pirate bluffed
A project that is unparalleled. Tipsport Gamechanger starts on Saturday. On Friday morning in Ostrava, however, Oktagon fighters had to make weight and it should be noted that there were already interesting dramas to be seen. How did the weigh-ins turn out?
Pyramid is always very interesting and attractive for fans, but it has some pitfalls. For example, it can be affected by various injuries or weight problems. The organisation then has to do its best to patch up the problems.
And on Friday, there was a weight that could shake up Saturday’s gala. In the end, however, everything turned out better than roughly expected. The fighters had to meet the limit of 77.1 kilograms, and in order not to lose percentages, the fighters have a tolerance of 0.5 kilograms.
However, the rules also stated that if a fighter overweighed, his opponent could not back out of the fight. Unless he overweighs by 3 kilograms or more. And unfortunately, that’s what happened in one fight. One of the most anticipated fights of all.
Louis Glismann’s fight with Amiran Gogoladz is perceived as a black horse fight. But while the former fit the limit without much trouble, Gogoladze weighed 81.25 kilograms and didn’t look like he was going to escape the 3 kilogram rule. He has to get down to 80.6 kilograms.
Rado Uskrt also weighed in slightly, but he will have no problem making weight and his fight with Melvin van Suijdam is definitely not in danger.
The surprise, however, came when Samuel Krištofič stepped on the scales. In the morning before the weigh-in he announced on Instagram that he would not meet the required limit because something went wrong. He said beforehand that what annoyed him most was that “the beggars who doubted will have a reason to be happy”.
But the pirate met the weight and his fight is not in danger. Jaroslav Pokorny also failed to meet the weight limit, but he will not take part in Gamechanger.
