PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Noriko Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rodrigo Caneiro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gracie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Swedish House Mafia Vs Tinie Tempah - Miami 2 Ibiza. Caneiro has chosen Velvet Underground-Heroin as his entrance music. Rodrigo Caneiro has the eye of the tiger tonight.
