PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cees Overeem (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kalle Uzi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Overeem might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Drowning Pool - Bodies (Let The Bodies Hit The Floor) . Uzi has chosen Top dog feat. Chuck Norris as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
