PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ric Landeverde (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Long Dong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Landeverde kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Napalm & Erruption- In San Francisco. The crowd seem to be enjoying Dong's choice of entrance music: Big Balls. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
