PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sam Fox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sergeant Peppers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fox kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood. Peppers has chosen Wanton Song -- Led Zepplin 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 Sergeant Peppers was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
