PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Drake (ranked 329 p4p, 239 weight class) and Jack Spratt (ranked 45 p4p, 35 weight class). Drake comes to the cage accompanied by Hell Yeah - Rev Theory. Spratt has chosen Fit But You Know It as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins.
