PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tom Winkletoe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alvin Rocker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rocker has chosen Jay-Z's Empire State of Mind as his entrance music. Tom Winkletoe had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.7lbs, 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. Alvin Rocker has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
