PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ziggy Stardust (ranked 456 p4p, 941 weight class) and Death Minister (ranked 61 p4p, 126 weight class). Stardust kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Starman. Minister is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Rhapsody of Fire. 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 Death Minister was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
