PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Edward Blake (ranked 1529 p4p, 202 weight class) and Dominick De Struicao (ranked 1841 p4p, 246 weight class). Blake's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Gucci Mane feat. Rick Ross - Head Shots. The crowd seem to be enjoying De Struicao's choice of entrance music: Walk With Me In Hell. 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.
