PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Funaki Fujiwara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Smelly Nelson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fujiwara's entrance music is T.N.T. by Tonedeff. A fine choice. Nelson has chosen Animal Crackers In My Soup by Sherly Temple as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Smelly Nelson 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!
