PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rafael Gracie (ranked 24755 p4p, 4092 weight class) and Bayu Prasetya (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gracie has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Rafael Gracie looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
