PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mordechai Marx (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mason Terell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Terell has chosen Let's Go-Lil Jon ft. Trick Daddy and Twista as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Mason Terell was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
