PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Deepi White (ranked 3316 p4p, 4360 weight class) and Javier Lorenzo (ranked 377 p4p, 460 weight class). Lorenzo has chosen Giorno's theme - flamenco cover as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
