PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Noah Bennet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pelle Hermanni (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bennet comes to the cage accompanied by Unloco - Crashing. The crowd seem to be enjoying Hermanni's choice of entrance music: Hatin on Me-Dizzy Wright. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
