PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ryan Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and kevin randleman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying randleman's choice of entrance music: graveyard symphony. randleman has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
