PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jay Daniels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Phil Stone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stone is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by 2001 Space Odissey/Blow me away (Breaking Benjamin) combo. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
