Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Luis Gracia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Max Mason (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gracia might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Cucurucucu Paloma. Mason is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Darude - Sandstorm. Max Mason has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
