PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mickey Doolan (ranked 5830 p4p, 24464 weight class) and Menes Kai (ranked 477 p4p, 514 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Doolan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fight Dirty. Kai is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Astronaut - Jin. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
