Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rollo Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Striker Mc Steel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gracie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jiu Jitsu: Apaga Mas Não Bate. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Striker Mc Steel was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
