PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Terry Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy Yackey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith's entrance music is The Mercenary. A fine choice. Yackey has chosen Ante Up as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
