PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gabriel Ferreira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jim Janos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Janos has chosen Predator Theme as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys are coming into the fight with injuries so let's see if that has a bearing on the fight. 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 Jim Janos was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
