Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Joe Frazier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Richard Jay Franlkin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Franlkin's choice of entrance music: ACDC- For Those About To Rock . Joe Frazier had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 188.0lbs, 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. Richard Jay Franlkin has the eye of the tiger tonight.
