PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Duke Blackbeard (ranked 367 p4p, 54 weight class) and Eddie Guerrero (ranked 1230 p4p, 158 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Blackbeard might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Remember The Name. Guerrero is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by My Time Is Now. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
