PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chuck Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jim Beam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gracie kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is disturbed - down with the sickness. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
