PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andrei Kersikov (ranked 17 p4p, 58 weight class) and Malcolm Rivera (ranked 4 p4p, 11 weight class). Kersikov comes to the cage accompanied by Head of the Table. Rivera is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: BAD COMPANY. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
