PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Krejzi Kure (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Walter Frost (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kure kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is BIG SHUG - who's hard. 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 Walter Frost was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
