PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Castor Troy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan Maximov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Troy comes into the arena with Coming Undone blaring out of the sound system. Castor Troy had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.5lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Ivan Maximov has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
