PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Curtis Crews (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Miguel Jimenez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Crews comes to the cage accompanied by I'm so paid - Akon . Miguel Jimenez struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 172.5lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
