PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sherif Fathy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jared Wild (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fathy kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Eat You Alive. The crowd seem to be enjoying Wild's choice of entrance music: Type O Negative - Love You to Death. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
