PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sloan Lenner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rey Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sloan Lenner had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.7lbs, 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. We have two fighters making their debuts here, so let's see who comes out of this one with their first professional victory.
