PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Steven Christie (ranked 809 p4p, 3629 weight class) and Louis C K (ranked 86 p4p, 347 weight class). Christie kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Amityville. C K is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Who let the dogs out. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
