APEX: UNDISPUTED
weigh-in's.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y28/BKDOTCOM/vs1.jpg
Up and commers and lightweights step up for promising APEX card. The weigh-in's went down a few hours ago, and here's a breif run-down of the fighter's weights and a selection of pictures.
After a successful win in Pancrase, Ivan Menjivar was primed to fight the excellent Antonio Carvalho in the APEX main event. Carvalho, unfortunately got injured in his Shooto bout in Japan and is forced to pull out of his scheduled APEX bout. Replacing him is one of MMA?s most talked about featherweights, Joe Lauzon from Massachusetts. Lauzon brings to APEX an impressive record of 9-1-0 and like Menjivar, is undefeated at 145 pounds. Lauzon holds a submission win against UFC veteran Mike Brown and is looking to play the spoiler against Canada?s top featherweight.
FEATHERWEIGHT MAIN EVENT:
IVAN "THE PRIDE OF EL SALVADOR" MENJIVAR - 144,8 LBS.
(TRISTAR GYM)
