PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Stone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jose Lopez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stone kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is UFC Undisputed 3 Theme Song. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
