PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Death Punch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jean Riviere (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Punch comes to the cage accompanied by Coming Down. Riviere comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Le Vagabond kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Death Punch had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.4lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
