PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Rizal Farahin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Malcolm Master (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Master's choice of entrance music: Master of Puppets. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
