PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Manus Grant (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stan Rivers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Grant might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Thunderstruck - AC/DC. Rivers has chosen Cyco Vision as his entrance music. Stan Rivers will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
