PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between A. Mere Con (ranked 1307 p4p, 890 weight class) and Jeff Lee (ranked 175 p4p, 118 weight class). Con comes to the cage accompanied by Born In The USA - Bruce Springsteen. Lee comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Doomsday Clock kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! A. Mere Con had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.3lbs, 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
