PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Takashi Matsui (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carl Gregson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Gregson's choice of entrance music: Let The Bodies Hit The Floor by Drowning Pool . There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
