PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Santiago Martinez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lorenzo Snow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Martinez might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Major Lazer - Pon De Floor. 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 Lorenzo Snow was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
