PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jason Jazon (ranked 2620 p4p, 3390 weight class) and Joe Knapp (ranked 311 p4p, 379 weight class). Knapp has chosen Where The Hood At as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
