PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ford Prefect (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kazaki Fujita (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Prefect comes to the cage accompanied by For Whom The Bell Tolls. Fujita has chosen Metallica-Enter Sandman as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
