PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Dangerous Jr (ranked 1585 p4p, 216 weight class) and Evan Payton (ranked 1501 p4p, 204 weight class). Dangerous Jr kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is TNT - ACDC. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
