PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tae Shik Cha (ranked 3334 p4p, 4351 weight class) and Bastyn Dall (ranked 318 p4p, 384 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cha might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Gaullin - Moonlight. Dall has chosen Bride - Beast as his entrance music. 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 Bastyn Dall was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
