PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Francisco Mir (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kimbo Slice (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mir kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Nas - Hate Me Now. The crowd seem to be enjoying Slice's choice of entrance music: M.O.P. - Ante Up Remix (featuring Busta Rhymes, Teflon, and Remy Martin). Kimbo Slice told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
