PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tom Fritz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rolls Romo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fritz might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Metallica - Enter Sandman . Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
