PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Nick Loconsole (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leonidas Hanegan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nick Loconsole had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.7lbs, 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. This should be fireworks!
