PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Christopher Dubois (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcelo Eladre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dubois's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Attitude from Sepultura. Christopher Dubois looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
