PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Bam Jackass (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Barney Rubble (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jackass might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jackass theme song. Rubble has chosen Rage Against The Machine - No Shelter as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd.
