PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Thiago Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mendo Hecatomb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gracie's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, 9pm (Till I Come). The crowd seem to be enjoying Hecatomb's choice of entrance music: Mr. Crowley. Mendo Hecatomb struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.4lbs 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. Thiago Gracie could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Mendo Hecatomb's chin.
