PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Craig Edwards (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bjorn Bogart (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Bogart's choice of entrance music: "Dutch National Anthem" by Het Wilhelmus. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
