PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ronnie Bass (ranked 913 p4p, 661 weight class) and Manco Capac (ranked 127 p4p, 93 weight class). Bass comes to the cage accompanied by Down With The Sickness. Capac has chosen Iggy Pop - The Passenger as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
