PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Schwarz Lightchild (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ray J (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). J comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Can't Be Touched kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! J has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
