PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Kenny McCormick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McCormick might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to You Better Get Ready To Die. The crowd seem to be enjoying Jackson's choice of entrance music: "Sittin In A Bar" by Rehab. Jimmy Jackson has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
