PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Trayvon Lewis (ranked 410 p4p, 937 weight class) and Willy McCoy (ranked 58 p4p, 127 weight class). McCoy comes into a darkened arena with his song building. You Don't Mess Around With Jim kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
