PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Raul Esteves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Junior Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Esteves might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Before I Forgot-Skipknot. The crowd seem to be enjoying Gracie's choice of entrance music: Forró Japonęs. Junior Gracie will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
