PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between JD Drake (ranked 2172 p4p, 2368 weight class) and Jussi Roipe (ranked 117 p4p, 128 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Drake might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Born in the USA by - Bruce Springstein. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
