PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jack Douglas (ranked 50 p4p, 9 weight class) and Serge Spectre (ranked 138 p4p, 18 weight class). Douglas's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Go For a Soda by Kim Mitchell. Spectre has chosen For Heavy Metal we will die! as his entrance music. 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?
