PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Aaron Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marco Pepinhos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pepinhos is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Macaco - Hacen Falta Dos. Aaron Gracie looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
