PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Terminator Exterminator (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Numero Cero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cero is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Hate Me Now - Nas. Terminator Exterminator had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
