Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jean Malboro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eric Freeman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Freeman comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Rollin by: Limp Bizkit kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Jean Malboro had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.6lbs, 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. Eric Freeman has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Jean Malboro's chin.
