PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jack Chambers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Dawkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dawkins has chosen This is How I Bang as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Jack Dawkins was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
