PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Prototype Prototype (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steven Force (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Prototype kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is UFC Official Theme Song. Force has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible.
