PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tanner Boser (ranked 4157 p4p, 398 weight class) and George Smith (ranked 5724 p4p, 464 weight class). Boser kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is fart . Smith comes into a darkened arena with his song building. The man who can't be moved kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
