PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Darius Frank Jr (ranked 5724 p4p, 3449 weight class) and Isiah Brown (ranked 605 p4p, 478 weight class). Brown has chosen Mercy - Kane West as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Isiah Brown struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.4lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
