PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ahomana Rauiheehee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paulo Robero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rauiheehee kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Jump Around by the Insane Clown Posse. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Paulo Robero was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
