PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jorn Mierop (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Douglas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mierop's entrance music is the memory remains. A fine choice. John Douglas told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
