PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jack Dent (ranked 4508 p4p, 327 weight class) and Jeremy Bell (ranked 7490 p4p, 409 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Bell's choice of entrance music: Country Roads. Jack Dent had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.0lbs, 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. Jack Dent has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
