PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between James Leary (ranked 443 p4p, 950 weight class) and Kyle Bush (ranked 37 p4p, 83 weight class). Bush has chosen Soemthing in the way as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
