PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Gordon Lefleaur (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kevin Jeantet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lefleaur comes to the cage accompanied by La Marseillaise. Jeantet is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Forever The Sickest Kids - She's A Lady. Gordon Lefleaur had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.3lbs, 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. Gordon Lefleaur has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
