Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dennis Rader (ranked 866 p4p, 800 weight class) and Big Dog Gracie (ranked 104 p4p, 99 weight class). Gracie comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Gang out kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
