PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dee Pain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ernie Els (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Pain might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to AC/DC - If you want Blood (You've got it). Els is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Cassidy - Wake Up. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
