PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Misho Bang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kev Richards (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Richards's choice of entrance music: "Bad Things" by Jace Everett. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
