PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Peter Stumpp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Say Nara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Stumpp might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Symphony Of Destruction. Nara is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Prodigy - Stand Up. 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 Say Nara was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
