Enfusion MMA #8 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lox Sweetsugar (ranked 5181 p4p, 25422 weight class) and Jack Hastings (ranked 466 p4p, 513 weight class). Hastings is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Jesus Walks by Kanye West. Hastings has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Jack Hastings was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
