Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jason Grapow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ray Sentipiel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Grapow might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles. Ray Sentipiel has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
