PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mordecai Sackett (ranked 35 p4p, 7 weight class) and Jack Douglas (ranked 13 p4p, 1 weight class). Douglas comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Go For a Soda by Kim Mitchell kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Douglas was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
