PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Kristof Pardi (ranked 3879 p4p, 25470 weight class) and Punch Bag (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pardi's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Party Boy Theme. The crowd seem to be enjoying Bag's choice of entrance music: Eye of the tiger. 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 Punch Bag was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
