SMASH: Vila vs Limbaugh (NC) PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Klay Dee (ranked 833 p4p, 1940 weight class) and Kidney Stone (ranked 45 p4p, 105 weight class). Dee comes into the arena with Tyler, The Creator - Who Dat Boy blaring out of the sound system. Stone comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Pour Some Sugar On Me by Def Leppord kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Kidney Stone was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jessie James (ranked 2971 p4p, 3738 weight class) and Ari Silver (ranked 356 p4p, 436 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think James might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Raining Blood - Slayer. On his way into the cage it seems that Jessie James has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jessie James seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
