PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alex De Paiva Santos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marko Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gracie has chosen Stewie Griffen - Rocket Man as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Marko Gracie told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
