Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Aaron Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charles Harper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gracie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hydraulix 13.5 - D.A.V.E. the Drummer & Alex Calver. Charles Harper has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
