PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Red Crimson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Grzegorz Schab (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Crimson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Eye Of The Storm - Killswitch Engage. Schab is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Monopol - Zodiak na melanżu. Red Crimson looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
