The Action – Welcome to the (Concrete) Jungle.
You know even before the action started today Dan Jungleman Cates was $30,000 up after he won a prop bet against Antonio Esfandiari. The bet? Could the Jungleman standout side in the cold winter air of Montreal in -17c without his shirt for 20 minutes. We’re glad to say we we’re there to get pics:
