PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ralph McGuire (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rulk Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McGuire kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I am a true Irishman. Gracie is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Circle Jerks - Wild in the Streets. Rulk Gracie will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
