Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bryan Gracie (ranked 1479 p4p, 2003 weight class) and Longsun Zhao (ranked 216 p4p, 276 weight class). Gracie comes to the cage accompanied by Limp Bizkit - Rollin'. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
