PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bruce Leeroy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sudaf Mendal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Leeroy has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Bruce Leeroy had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.8lbs, 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. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
