PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dan Averescu (ranked 2624 p4p, 3983 weight class) and Dwight Schrute (ranked 290 p4p, 411 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Averescu might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Guns N' Roses - Welcome To The Jungle. 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 Dwight Schrute was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
