PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between James Bomb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Red Darglio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bomb kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Casino Royale Soundtrack - You Know My Name. Darglio has chosen The Black Keys "Funk #49" as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. James Bomb could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Red Darglio's chin.
