PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jordan Dick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chuck Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gracie has chosen disturbed - down with the sickness as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Chuck Gracie was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
