PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Liam McGuiness (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ziba Halo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McGuiness might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Boys are Back by Dropkick Murphys. 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 Ziba Halo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
