PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Raoul Shooke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Russell Donahue (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Donahue has chosen I'm Shipping Up To Boston - Dropkick Murphys as his entrance music. Raoul Shooke looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
