PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jon Forte (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Diego Demichelis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Demichelis has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
