PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Drake (ranked 2699 p4p, 2793 weight class) and Dexter Roussel (ranked 297 p4p, 305 weight class). Drake's entrance music is Hell Yeah - Rev Theory. A fine choice. Roussel has chosen Manau - J'ai laissé là bas as his entrance music. Dexter Roussel told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
