PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Riddle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Newton Grabapple (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Riddle might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tech N9ne - Be Jealous . These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
