PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shane Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jonah King (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Miller kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Godsmack - Voodoo. King has chosen Highway to Hell by ACDC as his entrance music. Shane Miller has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
