PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mark Steve (ranked 221 p4p, 34 weight class) and George Allen (ranked 1176 p4p, 167 weight class). Steve kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is XXXTENTACION - Look At Me. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
