PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Nigel Tufnel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nick Shamrock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tufnel's entrance music is Smell the Glove. A fine choice. Shamrock has chosen Biggie Smalls-Hypnotize as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
