PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between George Patton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tonothan Kuhula (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Patton might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Keep your hands to yourself- Georgia Satellites. Kuhula has chosen Native Drums from the South Pacific as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
