PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Project Alpha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leroy Barnes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Alpha might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sub Focus - Rock It. Barnes comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Curtis Mayfield 'Pusherman' kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
