PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bradley Brunswick Jr (ranked 1430 p4p, 1993 weight class) and Phil Rivers (ranked 144 p4p, 199 weight class). Rivers has chosen RUNNING IN THE 90’s as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Phil Rivers told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
