Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Charlie Darwin (ranked 666 p4p, 84 weight class) and Raul Gracie (ranked 682 p4p, 86 weight class). Gracie has chosen Jiu Jitsu-Apaga Mas Năo Bate as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Raul Gracie was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
