PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Michail Bandert (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexander Emelianenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Emelianenko has chosen Enea Vollare Mezzo 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.
