PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Pablo De Geno (ranked 283 p4p, 274 weight class) and Heismann Haa (ranked 17 p4p, 16 weight class). De Geno kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is DE MEXICO SONG. Haa has chosen Her kommer Heismann Hå as his entrance music. 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 Heismann Haa was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
