PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Elijah Robert (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Viktor Gragula (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Robert might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Shosholoza. Viktor Gragula has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
