Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andre Ribero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rico Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gracie has chosen Pokój z widokiem na wojnę - Droga Wojownika as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Rico Gracie was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
