PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Rex Tyrannosaurus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Black Belt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tyrannosaurus comes to the ring accompanied by MacArthurPark. Belt has chosen Bon Jovi - Blaze of Glory 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 Black Belt was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
