PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Allen Weken (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Benson Henderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Henderson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Sobota-tanczy. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
