PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dick Army (ranked 487 p4p, 66 weight class) and Nikolai Kuznetsov (ranked 1182 p4p, 154 weight class). Army kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dick Army. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
