PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Brent Celek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimbo Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Celek kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is 40 oz. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
