PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cain Marko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and victor gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Marko's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Holocausto. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
