Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Roger Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nick Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gracie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dread Zepellin - Stairway to Heaven. Thompson has chosen Kreator - Extreme Aggressions as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
