Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Royce Gracie (ranked 722 p4p, 117 weight class) and John Makres (ranked 1722 p4p, 220 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gracie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Olha a Explosão. Makres has chosen SABATON - Coat of Arms as his entrance music. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
