Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Brawl Leer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Doolan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brawl Leer had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.1lbs, 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. Brawl Leer has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
