PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Chip Nickel (ranked 333 p4p, 270 weight class) and Marcus Alexander (ranked 41 p4p, 35 weight class). Nickel kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is TISM - Greg the Stop Sign. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
