PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Billy Bob (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Elliot Stabler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bob kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Notkea rotta - Itä meidän. Stabler has chosen Grown Men Don't Cry as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
