PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Colt Bragg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Shrimp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bragg's entrance music is My My Misfire - The Sinatra. A fine choice. Shrimp is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by drowning pool-step up. 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 James Shrimp was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
