PRC 1:The Introduction PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cain Torres (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thiago Alvarez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Torres's entrance music is "Twist of Cain" by Danzig. A fine choice. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Thiago Alvarez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Shane Velasquez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bruno Gracia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Gracia's choice of entrance music: Hero. Shane Velasquez had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.6lbs, 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. Bruno Gracia will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
