PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Emmanuel Duffy (ranked 5137 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sammy Anderson (ranked 7067 p4p, 0 weight class). Anderson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: So Tem Jogador. 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 Sammy Anderson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
