PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Lee Marshall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Darth Garcia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lee Marshall had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.3lbs, 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. Lee Marshall could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Darth Garcia's chin.
