PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Leo Heath (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Esco Esco (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Esco has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
