PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Malcolm Rivera (ranked 94 p4p, 589 weight class) and Lou Slugger (ranked 15 p4p, 73 weight class). Rivera comes to the cage accompanied by BAD COMPANY. Slugger is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: For Heavy Metal we will die!. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
