PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Peter Paul (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gary Cora (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Paul kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is DMX. Cora has chosen Hell's Bells - AC/DC as his entrance music. 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 Gary Cora was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
