PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Connar Cage (ranked 2938 p4p, 321 weight class) and Kurt Jackson (ranked 4266 p4p, 413 weight class). Jackson has chosen Ladies & Gentlemen 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 Kurt Jackson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
