PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Toshika Koga (ranked 3329 p4p, 24739 weight class) and Rafael Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gracie has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
