PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ric Flores (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mateus Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Flores might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Napalm & Erruption- In San Francisco. Gracie has chosen Broke & Hungry as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
