PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Doug Stanhope (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rual Ferdinand (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stanhope's entrance music is Bloggin on Acid. A fine choice. Ferdinand is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Fluorecent Adolecent. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
