PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Frank Castle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luis Alberto Perez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Castle comes to the cage accompanied by Don't worry, Be happy. Perez comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Gangnam Style by PSY kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Frank Castle had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.1lbs, 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. Luis Alberto Perez has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Frank Castle's chin.
