BFT-450: Schooner or Later 7 PBP Commentary

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gege Da (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Wells (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gege Da had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.6lbs, 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. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
