PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Danny Blake (ranked 615 p4p, 496 weight class) and Brock Dredd (ranked 76 p4p, 64 weight class). Blake kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Si Cranstoun - Dynamo. The crowd seem to be enjoying Dredd's choice of entrance music: Wake up the Town. 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.
