PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Chipper Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Akihito Yamato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yamato comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Unravel-Hatsune Miku kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Chipper Jones looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
