PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Adam Peri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Peri might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Anthem of Israel. White is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by gLAdiator - Magnum. 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 James White was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
