PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Viv Richards (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Quin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Quin has chosen Captain Jack - Iko Iko as his entrance music. 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 Matt Quin was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
