PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Linkavitch Chomofsky (ranked 502 p4p, 942 weight class) and Muenster Romano (ranked 69 p4p, 124 weight class). Chomofsky comes to the cage accompanied by Mastodon - Sleeping Giant. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
