PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fusion Drone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Slim Jim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Drone kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Snoop Dogg - Boom ft. T-Pain. 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 Slim Jim was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
