PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Michael Ehrmantraut (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vincent Volkov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ehrmantraut might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to non existent. Volkov has chosen The Trooper by Iron Maiden as his entrance music. Volkov has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
