PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tiger Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aaron Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, MANY MEN. Gracie has chosen Hydraulix 13.5 - D.A.V.E. the Drummer & Alex Calver as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Tiger Jones had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
