PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Paul Jurgen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stefan Krieger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Krieger has chosen Ramstein - Feuer Frei as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
