Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jack Douglas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pablo Escobar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Douglas kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Go For a Soda by Kim Mitchell. Escobar has chosen KoRn En Vivo Mtv as his entrance music. Jack Douglas has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
