Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Bruce Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jonathan Mvungi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gracie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to 50 Cent - In Da Club. Mvungi is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Professor Jay ft. Ferooz - Nikusaidiaje?. Jonathan Mvungi has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Bruce Gracie's chin.
