PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jeffrey Araujo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andre Miranda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Miranda is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Kymani Marley - Hustler. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
