PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Wolfram Stelzer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Raijin Kage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Stelzer might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Satyricon - K.I.N.G.. Kage has chosen Gojira - Oroborus as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
