PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mickey Finn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jukka Jumi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Finn kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Von Bondies - C'mon c'mon. Jumi is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by War Machine. Jukka Jumi struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.4lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
