PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ronnie Wayne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jonathan Desjardins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wayne might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Something in the Way by Nirvana. The crowd seem to be enjoying Desjardins's choice of entrance music: Bob Marley - I Shot The Sheriff. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
