PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Stuart Redman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Craig Wilbon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wilbon has chosen Momma Said Knock You Out - LL Cool J 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 Craig Wilbon was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
