PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Atilla Leopoldo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bob McGrady (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Leopoldo's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Halleljuah Chorus. McGrady has chosen Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Child as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
