Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marcelo Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeremy Foster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gracie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to . Foster has chosen Friggin In The Riggin as his entrance music. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
