PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Mallon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Larry Fitzpatrick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mallon kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Break Stuff. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
