PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fedor Alexandrov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Phukyorselvf Uzannavabizch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Alexandrov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pelageya & Darya Moroz-Oy, da ne vecher (russian folk music). Uzannavabizch has chosen Brandon Loveladdy's band WE ARE THE CHOSEN : BREAKING THE KARMIC CYCLE 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 Phukyorselvf Uzannavabizch was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
