PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Syco Souirrel (ranked 3381 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sufyan Amin (ranked 6022 p4p, 0 weight class). Amin 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.
