PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Billy Bolek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rodney Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bolek kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Iron Maiden - Run To The Hills. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
