PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Head Coach (ranked 1504 p4p, 188 weight class) and Johnny Vegas (ranked 2434 p4p, 295 weight class). Vegas has chosen Ace Of Spades by Motorhead as his entrance music. Coach has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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 Johnny Vegas was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
