FIGHT! For their Lives weigh-in news and notes

The FIGHT! Weigh-ins were held earlier today, followed by a short Q&A with FIGHT! Promoter, Jake Morgan. Some 1000 fans turned up to the weigh-ins which overall had a good atmosphere and positive reaction.

Michael Cross [260lbs] vs Oleg Maksimov [242lbs]

Jason Mercer [170lbs] vs Kyle McIntosh [170lbs]

Aaldert Daaf [205lbs] vs Grant Prosser [206lbs]

Dane 'Banger' Kinsley [180lbs] [JPN] vs Jeremy Brown [185lbs]

Chizuko Kowashi [177lbs] vs Damian Cruise [175lbs]

Aramis Vasquez [155lbs] vs Rahm Petersen [156lbs]

- The match between Kowashi and Cruise would seem to be the battle of the undersized Middleweights, neither man coming in anywhere near the maximum weight. You can add Dane Kinsley to that as well.

- Dutchman Aaldert Daaf looked incredibly lean, but might have trouble coping with the much thicker looking Prosser in their match. The pair shook hands and showed mutual respect after the token staredown.

- Michael Cross looked very soft for his match with Oleg Maksimov.

- Jason Mercer tried his best to get in the face of Kyle McIntosh but his opponent wasn’t having any of it. Mercer soon got the crowd on his back with his antics and this could well be the fight of the night. McIntosh simply nodded and smiled as Mercer got up close and personal.

- Vasquez/Petersen had some intensity as well with Petersen in particular looking ready to fight there and then.

-Stephen Greer, former FURY PRO combatant and one time professional wrestler was seen in attendance.

- Jake Morgan refused to confirm reports that a show will be held on May 24th, saying that the company was still exploring possibilities. He also stated that FIGHT! were looking to bring in the best fighters in the world, available or not.
