PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jesus Christ (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Foul Play (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Christ comes to the ring accompanied by Black people are forever slaves. The crowd seem to be enjoying Play's choice of entrance music: Simon Says-Pharaohe Monche. On his way into the ring it seems that Jesus Christ has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jesus Christ seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
