PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arnold Vegh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roger Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vegh comes to the cage accompanied by Linkin Park- The catalyst. Gracie has chosen Im On One as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
