An injury has forced Matee Jedeepitak to withdraw from his bout against Matt Embree at this weekend's Push Kick Promotions "World Stand Off" event. Stepping in to replace Matee is Ben Yelle. The original bout between Embree and Matee was set to take place at 140lbs, but the bout between Embree and Yelle will be at 147lbs.
Yelle last competed at K-1 Los Angeles in September of 2012, he was defeated by Joey Pagliuso. Embree last competed at Journey Fight Series in early November 2012 where he defeated Nate Smandych. Embree traditionally has fought at 140lbs or below so it will be interesting to see if fighting at 147lbs proves to be an advantage for Yelle.
This weekend's Push Kick Promotions event takes place on March 2nd at the Pomona Fairplex in Pomona, CA.
