PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Iggy Manley (ranked 3170 p4p, 400 weight class) and Reid Tackett (ranked 3693 p4p, 451 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Manley might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Born in the USA. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
