PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between JD Drake (ranked 654 p4p, 941 weight class) and Rodrigo Duterte (ranked 80 p4p, 109 weight class). Drake kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Born in the USA by - Bruce Springstein. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Rodrigo Duterte was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
