PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Professor F (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tora Noshi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). F kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is shortest man in world. Noshi has chosen Don't Tell Me - Concorde Dawn as his entrance music. Both these guys are coming into the fight with injuries so let's see if that has a bearing on the fight. Tora Noshi told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
