PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Owen Schmitt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gary Hudson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Schmitt kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is In God We Trust - Stryper. Hudson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Roll Over DJ. Gary Hudson has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
