PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Derrick Davidson (ranked 24763 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matthew Scanlan (ranked 8647 p4p, 0 weight class). Scanlan has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
