PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Abel Hug (ranked 543 p4p, 722 weight class) and Atticus Finch (ranked 49 p4p, 63 weight class). Finch is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Ghetto Bird- Ice Cube. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
