PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pons De Leon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Richard B Riddick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Riddick 's choice of entrance music: Matt Redman - Blessed Be Your Name. 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 Richard B Riddick was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
