PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Christian Mubango (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dieter Von Sprockets (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mubango might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jessie J - Bang Bang. Von Sprockets has chosen Rolling Stones- Monkey Man as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
