PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tyron Woodley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carlos Rodriguez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Woodley comes into the arena with Seek & Destroy - Metallica blaring out of the sound system. Rodriguez has chosen disturbed- pain redefined as his entrance music. Tyron Woodley looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
