PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kevin Garbutt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luis Gracia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Garbutt might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Saxon - Strong Arm of the Law. Gracia has chosen Cucurucucu Paloma as his entrance music. Kevin Garbutt has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
