PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between The Meat Muncher (ranked 25568 p4p, 25649 weight class) and Tristan Riddle (ranked 0 p4p, 555 weight class). Meat Muncher is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. The Meat Muncher looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
