PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between redheaded Step Child (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Malvin Maldi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Step Child might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ginger Sex. Maldi has chosen Loituma TECHNO! as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
