PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between John McClane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Taylor Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McClane's entrance music is Die Hard - Music Video - NEW 4th Verse!. A fine choice. Smith is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: "Irish Drinking Song" - Dropkick Murphys. 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.
