PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rajesh Koothrappali (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Abah Okafor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Koothrappali kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Punjab. Okafor has chosen Krayzie Bone - Smokin' Budda as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
