PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Dan Price (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aiden Preston (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Price might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hank Williams III - Thrown out of the Bar. Preston is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Fuckin Problem. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
