Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marko Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Falls (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gracie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Green. Falls has chosen "Fat Bottom Girls" - Queen as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Marko Gracie has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.
