SMASH: Nascimento Boomer PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Bronco (ranked 1130 p4p, 1304 weight class) and Red Crow (ranked 165 p4p, 188 weight class). Bronco's entrance music is The Horses - Daryl Braithwaite . A fine choice. Crow comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Scarlet - Age of Seduction 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 Red Crow was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
