PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Clay Mercer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ian Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith has chosen Let There Be Rock by AC/DC as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Ian Smith 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!
