PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jai Setright (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jet Li (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Setright comes to the cage accompanied by The Dagger. Li has chosen Tourniquet by Evanescence as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
