KFC 11: Toasted Twister PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Michael Brookins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hugo Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brookins comes to the ring accompanied by Good Morning - Kanye West. Hugo Gracie struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.7lbs 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 really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Muhammad Tyson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kyle Woopass (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tyson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Act a Fool - Ludacris. Muhammad Tyson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.0lbs, 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. Muhammad Tyson looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Cesar Filho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Elvis Bika (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bika has chosen My Decision as his entrance music. Cesar Filho had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.3lbs, 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. Elvis Bika has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
