PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between James Jacko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Church The Fireman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jacko kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Eye Of The Tiger. The Fireman has chosen I am Fuck! as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
