PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Anvil Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy Nix (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Booker T - We Comin' For YOU. Nix has chosen Holy Diver by Killswitch Engage as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Anvil Smith could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Jimmy Nix's chin.
