PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Lamok Kalye (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus OConnor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lamok Kalye had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.4lbs, 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. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
