PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shozo Amisaki (ranked 3906 p4p, 3203 weight class) and Dexter Roussel (ranked 505 p4p, 442 weight class). Roussel is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Manau - J'ai laissé là bas . There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
