PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Cholo Van Gaal (ranked 635 p4p, 79 weight class) and Rollo Gracie (ranked 2021 p4p, 227 weight class). Gracie has chosen Jiu Jitsu: Apaga Mas Não Bate as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Gracie has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
