MMA Fight Night 3 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brian Norton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gary Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Norton kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Countdown to Extinction by Megadeth. The crowd seem to be enjoying Jackson's choice of entrance music: Tupac -Ambitionz Az A Ridah. Brian Norton could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Gary Jackson's chin.
