PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rusty Griswold (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Riley Lewis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Griswold's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Hooking Up The Lights. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Riley Lewis was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
