PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Braedon Butler (ranked 2859 p4p, 4894 weight class) and Francesco Crescenzo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Crescenzo has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
