PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Olaf Saurkraut (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roman Burza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Saurkraut kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Poland National Anthem. Burza has chosen Guns N' Roses - Welcome To The Jungle as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
