PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Alex Trager (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Christopher Lytle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Trager's entrance music is Scarcéus - Não Quero Olhar Pra Trás. A fine choice. Lytle has chosen Light's Out as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Christopher Lytle was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
