PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Elay Arson (ranked 2855 p4p, 2827 weight class) and Dobs Breckin (ranked 322 p4p, 316 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Arson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to ALIEN WEAPONRY - Kai Tangata. 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 Dobs Breckin was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
