PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dominic Morgan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Taaron Bailey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Morgan kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Hollywood Undead - Undead. 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 Taaron Bailey was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
