PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chuck Liddell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stephen Quadros (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Liddell's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Ice Cold. The crowd seem to be enjoying Quadros's choice of entrance music: Pride Theme. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
