AD333: Half evil PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kirk Laputa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jer Bear (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Laputa kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Suicidal Tendencies - You Can't Bring Me Down. The crowd seem to be enjoying Bear's choice of entrance music: Good Times. 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 Jer Bear was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
