PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Melvin Manhoef (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Troyer Edgecombe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Manhoef might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Cerberus battle. The crowd seem to be enjoying Edgecombe's choice of entrance music: Killling in the Name - Rage Against the Machine. Troyer Edgecombe is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
