Finally diving into the #MortalKombat: Legacy Kollection. Couple of notes:
- Only having the GBA version of Deadly Alliance is horseshit.
- Shaolin Monks should’ve been on here if the other shitty offshoot games are.
- Mythologies is an all-time irrational confidence flex.

Really glad The Rock and Safdie brought Mark Kerr’s story to the masses. The documentary is fantastic, but nearly impossible to find. Very few fighter’s careers end triumphantly, but the tragedy of Kerr’s is important to the legacy of MMA. Hats off, gents! You nailed it!
