PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Patches Meech (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jim Golden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Meech might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to shear it maybe. Golden has chosen Gold Dust as his entrance music. Patches Meech had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.3lbs, 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. Patches Meech has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
