PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cedric Myton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Anfield (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Myton might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Yoyo. Anfield is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Ecuador. 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 Johnny Anfield was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
