PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dee Pain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nuppu Lupaus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pain kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is AC/DC - If you want Blood (You've got it). The crowd seem to be enjoying Lupaus's choice of entrance music: Benjamin Yerke -Please Stand By. 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 Nuppu Lupaus was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
