PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Crisostomo Ibarra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Miguel Dos Santos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dos Santos has chosen Three Amigos - Mexican Party as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
