PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tyrel Sackett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy Nix (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sackett kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Highway to Hell. Nix has chosen Holy Diver by Killswitch Engage as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Jimmy Nix was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
