PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Nix (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Sturd (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nix kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Holy Diver by Killswitch Engage. Sturd is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Young Jeezy - Death Before Dishonor. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
