Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roddy Piper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gorilla Monsoon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Piper might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Scotland yard by The Ramones. Monsoon has chosen Mangled Up Mess by Morbid Angel as his entrance music. Gorilla Monsoon has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
