PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Boris Orlov (ranked 1215 p4p, 83 weight class) and Desmond Fairbanks (ranked 961 p4p, 62 weight class). Orlov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is K.A.B.O.S.H. - God Of War. 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 Desmond Fairbanks was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
