PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Romero Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jamel Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
