PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rorny Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lance Armstrong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gracie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bittersweet Symphony. Lance Armstrong will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
