Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Donkey Kong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eamonn McGuigan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kong kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Brass Monkey - Beastie Boys. 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 Eamonn McGuigan was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
