PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ricky Riverboat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Marciano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Riverboat's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Protect Ya neck. Michael Marciano 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!
