PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Klem Patterson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Justin Campbell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Klem Patterson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.1lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
