PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ray Lewis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy Snuka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lewis kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Nelly - Hot In Herre. Snuka is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Superfly by Curtis Mayfield. Ray Lewis has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
