PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Lightning Storm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Kyle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Storm might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jay Z - Moment of Clarity. Kyle has chosen Big Booty Woman as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Lightning Storm has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
