PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sean McNamara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tim Riggins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McNamara kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Massive Attack - Teardrop (House M.D.). Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
