PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bob Barker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Derrick Coleman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Barker might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Little bit Counrty. Coleman has chosen Superstar by Lupe Fiasco as his entrance music. Bob Barker looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
