Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Travis Radden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joey Riggs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Radden might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Un Ange En Danger by Mc Solaar with Ron Carter. Riggs is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Eminem - not afraid. Travis Radden has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
