PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tyrone Eastman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kid Quick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Quick is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: "Cruising in Miami" by Bass 305. 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 Kid Quick was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
