PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pedro Pedrera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chuck Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pedrera kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Bate Pesadão. The crowd seem to be enjoying Gracie's choice of entrance music: Matanza - Meio Psicopata. Gracie has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Chuck Gracie is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.
