PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Zee Land (ranked 399 p4p, 864 weight class) and Jane Malley (ranked 60 p4p, 116 weight class). Land comes into the arena with For Heavy Metal we will die! blaring out of the sound system. Malley has chosen Rosemary Clooney - Mambo Italiano 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 Jane Malley was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
