PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bo Duran (ranked 7 p4p, 93 weight class) and Jeff Spicoli (ranked 2 p4p, 18 weight class). Spicoli is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Money Buy Drugs. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
