PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Piotr Rasputin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Jamesion (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rasputin kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Evil Scarecrow- Robotatron. Jamesion has chosen The red carpet 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 Mark Jamesion was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
