PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Victor Creed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kareem Jabbar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Creed might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to It's my song. Jabbar has chosen 54-56 what`s my number as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
