Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tay Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Damon Stone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Let It Rock. The crowd seem to be enjoying Stone's choice of entrance music: One Step Closer by Linkin Park. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
