PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sergeant Peppers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jesus Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Peppers might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Brainiac -- Chevelle. The crowd seem to be enjoying Sanchez's choice of entrance music: Slayer - Jesus Saves. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
