Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Renzo Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chuck Grace (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 Hollywood Undead- Undead. Grace is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Swagga Like Us - TI. Renzo Gracie had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.4lbs, 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. Renzo Gracie could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Chuck Grace's chin.
