Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sailor Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gabriel Washington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gracie's entrance music is Disciples of Power - Lords of Creation. A fine choice. Washington has chosen Big Pun feat.Fat Joe-Twinz (Deep Cover) as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Sailor Gracie has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Sailor Gracie seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
