PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Breaker Dane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Scully Rudd (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rudd has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
