PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Roddy Piper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Seppo Rovanpera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Piper might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Real Men Wear Skirts. The crowd seem to be enjoying Rovanpera's choice of entrance music: Die Antwoord - Enter The Ninja. Roddy Piper is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
