PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Frankie Shepherd (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Martin King (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shepherd kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Head Like A Hole - Nine Inch Nails. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
