PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kasahiro Yama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cu Chulainn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yama kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Yatta. Chulainn is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by The Blood of Cu Chulainn. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
