MMA Fight Night 2 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Myeong Jae Kim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jacob Jacobs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kim's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Wonder Girls - Nobody. 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 Jacob Jacobs was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
