PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Guy Le Franc (ranked 274 p4p, 791 weight class) and Francesco Monroe (ranked 31 p4p, 97 weight class). Le Franc's entrance music is [I Can't Get No] Satisfaction. A fine choice. Francesco Monroe struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.2lbs 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. Guy Le Franc has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
