PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Domenic Gazza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Enoch Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gazza might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to National Anthem of Italy. Thompson has chosen call to prayer as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Enoch Thompson will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
