PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ricco Bader (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billy Boyer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bader's entrance music is It's a Long Way to the Top. A fine choice. 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 Billy Boyer was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
