PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chuck Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carter Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gracie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to disturbed - down with the sickness. Johnson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Enter Sandman by Metallica. Chuck Gracie has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
