PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bunny Anstey (ranked 797 p4p, 1011 weight class) and JD Drake (ranked 104 p4p, 131 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Drake's choice of entrance music: 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.
