PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Gabriel Becker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pj Veenstra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Becker kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is 2nd Sucks- A Day to Remember. Gabriel Becker looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
