PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Diego Batista (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kimbo Slice (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Batista's entrance music is Triunfo . A fine choice. Slice has chosen Hit em' Up as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
