Bellator Boss: Tito Will Have A 35 Pound Weight Advantage Over Shlemenko

BJPENN.COM News - April 22, 2014

“It’s 20 pounds on paper, but legitimately, Shlemenko walks around at 190.” Rebney told Sherdog.com. “He’s a guy who cuts four pounds, who stops eating big meals a day and a half before the fight to cut four pounds of water weight to make 185. He’s a typical Eastern European fighter who’s not interested in the cut. By the time that fight goes into the cage, you’re probably looking at a 30-, 35-pound weight disparity between Tito and Alexander. I think that’s what gives a lot of the punch behind that big fight that we’ve got coming up in May.”

EXCLUSIVE | Coach Jason Parillo Talks TUF 19, Episode 1

bjpenndotcom - April 22, 2014

  Famed MMA Boxing coach, Jason Parillo, has embarked on his first season of ‘The Ultimate Fighter, lending a hand on Team Penn. The first episode of season 19 showcased two head coaches, Penn and Edgar, that were able to get along and be cordial to each other. This was a big change considering that in almost all of the past seasons the coaches have had “heated rivalries”. That’s not to say that these guys don’t want to get in the cage with each and do everything they can to take the other guy out, but it’s a healthy respect that is often overshadowed by the feuding, hype filled fights. That being said, when Parillo was asked if it surprised him that they got along he said, “Not at all. They never did have a personal problem.” Parillo went on to explain that he also shares the respect that Penn has for Edgar and his coaching team, “I actually always have. Mark Henry (Edgar’s boxing coach) called me up after our first fight. [He] Was the most humble, kind man I’ve met in the game. I have nothing but respect for him and his guys.”
