PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gaius Julius Caesar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arthur Guinness (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Caesar kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Warriors of the World. Guinness has chosen Ev Christr` Ta, Laou! 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 Arthur Guinness was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
