PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alex Rodriguez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Drew Peacock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rodriguez comes to the cage accompanied by Snoop Dogg (ft Dr.Dre) The Chronic. The crowd seem to be enjoying Peacock's choice of entrance music: Bring The Noise by Public Enemy & Anthrax. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
