PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Kame Sennin (ranked 2707 p4p, 125 weight class) and Khalil Mack (ranked 2987 p4p, 139 weight class). Mack has chosen Rapamycin as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Khalil Mack was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
