PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Gray Elbe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Damon Wojtk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Elbe might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Iron Man - Ozzy Osbourne. Wojtk has chosen Lunatic Fringe, Red Rider as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
