PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vit Tu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and George Steele (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tu kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Blanket on the ground. Steele is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Cinderella Man. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
