PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Taz Eane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sapok Biki Keling (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Eane has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
