Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Duke Drosey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rampake Jakkisonni (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Drosey comes to the cage accompanied by Trash. Jakkisonni has chosen Black Betty as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Drosey is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. The key to victory for Duke Drosey has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
