PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Frankie Logan (ranked 862 p4p, 110 weight class) and Brotha Gracie (ranked 2706 p4p, 298 weight class). Gracie has chosen Tupac - Last Muthafucka Breathin' as his entrance music. Brotha Gracie struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.5lbs 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the ring.
