PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jay Gatsby (ranked 43 p4p, 9 weight class) and Three Dog (ranked 233 p4p, 33 weight class). Dog has chosen Fallout 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 Three Dog was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
