PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Phat Ho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yves Jabouin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ho kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water. Jabouin has chosen Trobule On My Mind- Pusha T and Tyler The Creator as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
