PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brad Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alex Harper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lee kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is god save the queen sex pistols. 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 Alex Harper was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
