Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Roddy Piper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peter Parker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Piper kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Real Men Wear Skirts. Parker has chosen Dead N Gone as his entrance music. Peter Parker told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
