PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jacques St Croix (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hal Lelujah (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). St Croix kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Erasure - A Little Respect. Lelujah has chosen Jesus can kick your A$$ as his entrance music. 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 Hal Lelujah was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
