PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Burnt Faceman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Damion Skye (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Faceman might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dirt Road Anthem. Skye has chosen Never Gonna Stop - Rob Zombie as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
