PL MMA 3 Barbosa vs Mathews PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between J Gay G (ranked 2485 p4p, 136 weight class) and Luciano Grabowski (ranked 6422 p4p, 267 weight class). Gay G comes to the cage accompanied by Down. J Gay G had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 137.0lbs, 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. On his way into the cage it seems that J Gay G has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily J Gay G seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
