PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fred Hanks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Binzo Binzo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hanks's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, AC/DC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. The crowd seem to be enjoying Binzo's choice of entrance music: Hair of the Dog by Nazareth. 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 Binzo Binzo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
