PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Liberal Stomper (ranked 243 p4p, 35 weight class) and Harvey Stallion (ranked 680 p4p, 87 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Stallion's choice of entrance music: Ozzy Osborne - Crazy Horse. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
