PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Justin Thyme (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Drake Dusk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dusk has chosen AC/DC - Thunderstruck as his entrance music. Justin Thyme looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
