PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Danny Seagram (ranked 104 p4p, 18 weight class) and Chris Coath (ranked 436 p4p, 61 weight class). Coath comes into a darkened arena with his song building. For Heavy Metal we will die! kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Chris Coath was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
