Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Heston Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zell Dincht (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gracie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Animal I Have Become. Dincht has chosen Fanfare as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Heston Gracie has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
