PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nate Barnes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Noel Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barnes kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Black Eyed Peas - Imma Be. Smith comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Duality - Slipknot kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Noel Smith has the eye of the tiger tonight.
