PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dino Adams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Benny Diesel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Adams kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Rush - Limelight. Diesel has chosen The State Of Massachusetts 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 Benny Diesel was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
