PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Commander Shepard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yuri Boshtok (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Boshtok's choice of entrance music: Jump Around M*thaf*cka. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
