PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ziggy Cliff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eddie Clark (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cliff kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is JAMROCK. Clark has chosen All Fired Up as his entrance music. 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 Eddie Clark was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
