PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Simon Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Renzo Machida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Williams's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, UFC: Closer to the Edge (Jared Leto). Machida is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: No more Shadows for the Past- NARNIA. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
