PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jack Daniels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeff Probst (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Daniels comes to the cage accompanied by Nas - Hate Me Now. The crowd seem to be enjoying Probst's choice of entrance music: Ballad of Worms. Jeff Probst 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!
