PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ams erdam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and AJ Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Johnson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by money maker. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
