PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andrew Martin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alistair Overdose (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Martin comes to the cage accompanied by Downstait - This Is My Life. The crowd seem to be enjoying Overdose's choice of entrance music: Powerthirst. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
