PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Danilo Bergasmarchi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cris Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bergasmarchi might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Faith no More - Ashes to Ashes. Cris Gracie struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.9lbs 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. Cris Gracie looks lathargic as he enters the arena. Wake up son, you're about to have a fight!
