PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jussi Ahma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Raoul Duke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ahma's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Power - Kanye West. Duke has chosen All Along The Watchtower as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Duke has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
