PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Badir Housasi (ranked 8778 p4p, 252 weight class) and Gabriel Skrarski (ranked 3717 p4p, 141 weight class). Housasi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Eminem - Berzerk. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
