PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jacob Moonra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dante Cross Furia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Moonra might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Boombastic. Cross Furia has chosen Vivaldi's Winter as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jacob Moonra has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
