PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pops Cama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tamias Poochyena (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cama might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lollipop. Poochyena has chosen This Life - Curtis Stigers & The Forest Rangers as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Tamias Poochyena was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
