PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Castle Rock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peyton Canning (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rock might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Rogue from Scotland . 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.
