PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Trevor Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Axel Whitecoat (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 ''Big Poppa'' by The Notorious B.I.G.. Whitecoat has chosen Seven Nation Army as his entrance music. Trevor Smith has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
