PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Winston Smith (ranked 5940 p4p, 463 weight class) and Jordan Jackson (ranked 3884 p4p, 381 weight class). Jackson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Puff Daddy-Victory (ft. Notorious B.I.G & Busta Rhymes). Jordan Jackson 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!
