PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rasheed Willis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billy Rose (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Willis comes to the cage accompanied by Kendrick Lamar - HiiiPower. Rose is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Soothsayer. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
