PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bastien Harris (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Freedom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Harris's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Du Hast. Freedom comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Johnny Freedom kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Johnny Freedom was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
