PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Silva Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tommy Gun (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gracie kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ain't no sandstrom - DaurudeMX ft . Gun has chosen Turbo as his entrance music. Silva Gracie had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.1lbs, 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. Tommy Gun is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
