PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tony Stark (ranked 516 p4p, 361 weight class) and Dubaku Womba (ranked 77 p4p, 60 weight class). Womba is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Damian Marley - Road to Zion ft. Nas. 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 Dubaku Womba was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
