PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Anderson Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yogi Dhamma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dhamma is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Power Of Soul. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
