In this promotional clip for Ultimate Fighting Championship’s broadcast television debut on Saturday, November 12, teen pop singer turned inspirational Christian actress turned alt-country wife turned Disney princess Mandy Moore offers her opinion on who she thinks will win the heavyweight title bout between Cain Velasquez and Junior Dos Santos. At no point was Willa Ford interviewed about Bellator 57. Hold on, I can get more obscure than that. At no point was Samantha Mumba interviewed about EliteXC. What does Skye Sweetnam think of the fight going on in my parking lot?
Anyway, Mandy’s right about what’s going to happen in the fight, but she’s got this thing where she’s incapable of expressing sincere emotion and just furrows her brow and points up her eyebrows to make it look like she means what she’s saying. She’s making UFC predictions with the same face she uses to tell her badboy teenage boyfriend she’s about to die (in the next five minutes) from a fatal disease. I guess that’s how she ended up dating Zach Braff for as long as she did.
Dana White should convince her to throw on a cocktail dress and pop-and-lock her way through the UFC On Fox theme, Faith Hill style.

Mandy Moore could read me stereo instructions, and I’d still get a softie.
I hope Bas Rutten shows Mandy Moore the meaning of life… in her butt.
At one point Willa Ford dated Chuck Liddell so she might know a little about MMA
Willa Ford I think got married to Mike Modano also. I have a soft spot for Mandy Moore, and it may or may not relate to hotness.
I have never wondered what Mandy Moore thought about anything.
That’s so funny.
Brandon, do you watch MMA? By saying Moore’s right about what going’s to happen, you’re condoning her sentiment that “seeing a heavyweight fight, you’re pretty much guaranteed to see a knockout”, correct? Fedor, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, and Frank Mir, right off the top of my head, would tend to disagree with that sentiment. Also, if there’s a knockout in that fight, it’s more likely to be Dos Santos that delivers it, as he’s the better striker. I look for Velasquez to win by decision after getting rocked at some point in each round by JDS.
(And yes, I feel I’m qualified to cast aspersions on Mandy Moore’s “insight”, since I write a weekly MMA column for that website you always reference in your B&W articles.)
@Carson – I’m not agreeing with the vague “knockout” thing, but with Cain winning the fight.
Surprise butt seks would fix Mandy Moore.
“Seeing a heavyweight fight pretty much means a knockout”
Since when?
@Brandon: Thanks for the clarification – that makes the entire thing more palatable.
I always thought Willa Ford was trashier, and therefore somewhat hotter.
whew, that felt good to get out
Steven Seagal taught me how to hold Mandy Moore’s triangle.
I would watch Mandy Moore go three rounds in the ring with Gina Carano.
