PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dickel Goldman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jared Richards (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Goldman kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is This is Vlad Boyeslav Now. Richards has chosen I give you bass as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Dickel Goldman has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
