PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Solomon Ares (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chuck Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ares might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Run This Town. Gracie comes into a darkened arena with his song building. disturbed - down with the sickness kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
