PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jean Conrad (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robert Loggia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Loggia has chosen "Ready or Not" by The Fugees 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.
