PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ralf Krause (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Terje Nordberg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nordberg is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Carlf Orff - O Fortuna. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
