PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Risto Raivo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stien Riech (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Raivo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pocket full of shells. Riech has chosen Escape as his entrance music. Stien Riech has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
