PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jaydub Spliffenberger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kron Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Spliffenberger's entrance music is Roll 'em Up. A fine choice. Gracie has chosen The Bravery - time won't let me go as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
