PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alborz Mumu (ranked 193 p4p, 418 weight class) and Jeronimo Puno (ranked 31 p4p, 59 weight class). Puno has chosen RAGS 2 RICHES as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Jeronimo Puno was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
