PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Bruce Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeremy Gee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bruce Lee had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.5lbs, 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. Jeremy Gee will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
