PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jesse James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Foe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jesse James had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.4lbs, 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. Joe Foe has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
