PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Yogi Dhamma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Conor Harris (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dhamma's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Power Of Soul. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
