PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Justice (ranked 639 p4p, 98 weight class) and Three Dog (ranked 1280 p4p, 180 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Justice might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Montana of 300 - Daddy Used to be the Plug. The crowd seem to be enjoying Dog's choice of entrance music: Fallout. This should be a great matchup!
