PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Steven Bishop (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ricardo Almeida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bishop comes to the cage accompanied by Lose Yourself. Almeida has chosen SSS- The Cult as his entrance music. 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 Ricardo Almeida was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
