PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gabriel Gray (ranked 887 p4p, 112 weight class) and Hip Hop (ranked 962 p4p, 121 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Hop's choice of entrance music: Hard in Da Paint. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
