PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Richie Alaska (ranked 1147 p4p, 950 weight class) and Olenev Stepanovich (ranked 118 p4p, 102 weight class). Alaska kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is A Long December - Counting Crows. Stepanovich has chosen Swallowing Dust as his entrance music. Richie Alaska is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
