PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jizzle Bunz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rubert Kuminauha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bunz might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Candy Paint - Ken Tuck. Kuminauha has chosen Celine Dion - Just Walk Away as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
