PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Wilder Wein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Noob Saibot (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wein kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Wilder Wein. 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 Noob Saibot was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
