PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hjalti Eyj (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Don King (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Eyj's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, I'm Sexy and I Know It. Don King 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!
