PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Judge Holden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ash Berry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Holden kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Act a Fool. Berry has chosen Red Hot Chilli Pipers - Clocks as his entrance music. Judge Holden is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
