PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nick Larson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jamie Weedman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Larson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Here To Stay by Korn. 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 Jamie Weedman was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
