Turnpike comes to the cage accompanied by Don’t Stop the Party -Pitbull ft TJR. Turnpike is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. Jersey Turnpike looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
