Thunderous Chops and Big Shots Await on PLN’s Friday Night Fights Week 8

PLN Main Event: Frank the Tank vs. Gary Gram, World Chop Champion

Yes, you read that right. Frank the Tank, the larger-than-life competitor with just one career win in Chest Chop, is stepping into the echo chamber against none other than Gary Gram, the reigning, undisputed PLN World Chop Champion.

Frank’s been outspoken about the brutality of Chest Chop. After his last outing, he didn’t mince words: “It hurts so much more than slapping. I don’t love it, but I’m going to keep trying to compete for a bit.” That level of humility, mixed with raw tenacity, has earned him a special place in fans’ hearts. And now, under the bright lights of Friday night, he’s getting his chance at the ultimate upset.

On the other side of the ring is Gary Gram, a man who’s turned chopping into ballet, if ballet caused ruptured blood vessels and left trails of red welts. He’s methodical, he’s merciless, and he’s undefeated. When Gary chops, you feel it through the screen.

Can Frank absorb the punishment long enough to mount a comeback? Or will Gary remind us why he wears the crown? The only thing certain is that someone’s chest is leaving the ring ten shades darker than it came in.

The PLN Undercard: Madness, Mayhem, and More Chops

While the main event takes center stage, the Chest Chop undercard is overflowing with characters and chaos, an absolute feast for fight fans who live for unpredictability and personality.

Okie Savage brings unrefined energy and a punishing hand-speed. Known for his primal yells and crowd-hyping, Okie is looking to rebound after an up-and-down start to the season.

Psycho, living up to his name, doesn’t feel pain… or at least pretends not to. That mental edge, coupled with genuinely crushing chops, makes him a dark horse this week.

FAFO (you know what that means…) returns, daring opponents to test his patience and power. His last Chest Chop outing left his competition marked, both physically and emotionally.

Then there’s Rocky, who doesn’t talk much but hits like a freight train, and Captain Flamingo, who favors flamboyance and flair, until the bell rings and his hands turn into storm hammers.

Adding extra flavor to the mix, Fletcher Estes from PLN’s breakout series CarJitsu Championship. Fletcher’s transitioning from grappling inside tiny cars to dishing out and enduring chest chops in wide-open space. Will that grappler’s toughness translate to open-hand brutality? We’re about to find out.
