PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Loke Axelsen (ranked 2425 p4p, 4093 weight class) and Ethan Gracie (ranked 320 p4p, 503 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Axelsen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Cha Cha PT2- Freddie Dredd . Gracie has chosen No Church In The Wild as his entrance music. Ethan Gracie is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
