PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Harbin Casbon (ranked 312 p4p, 926 weight class) and Jab Buddha (ranked 46 p4p, 124 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Buddha's choice of entrance music: Rhyme Asylum - Smoke Screens and Pipe Dreams. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
