PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hector Camacho (ranked 222 p4p, 35 weight class) and Axl Rose (ranked 597 p4p, 71 weight class). Rose has chosen You Could Be Mine as his entrance music. Axl Rose struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.0lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
