PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Hooper Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dee Mulks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mulks comes into a darkened arena with his song building. The Pixies - Where is my mind? kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Dee Mulks was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
