PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andre Walters (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and PJ Benn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Walters might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Send my love to the Dance Floor by Cobra Starship. The crowd seem to be enjoying Benn's choice of entrance music: Raised fist- Words and Phrases. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
