PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Chunzhi Zheng (ranked 2207 p4p, 257 weight class) and Hassan Msuva (ranked 3414 p4p, 0 weight class). Msuva has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
