PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Pierre Joseph Proudhon (ranked 290 p4p, 39 weight class) and Bjorn Ragnar (ranked 160 p4p, 21 weight class). Ragnar is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Shook Ones II. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
