PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Tero Rokka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Angus Troyer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rokka might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Drowning Pool - Bodies. The crowd seem to be enjoying Troyer's choice of entrance music: Yankee Rose.
