PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Janis Lusis (ranked 3382 p4p, 369 weight class) and Randy Savage (ranked 7501 p4p, 668 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Savage's choice of entrance music: Pomp & Circumstance. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
