PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Aaron Witt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Trang Troc (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Witt might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Animal by Disturbed. Troc has chosen Dr. Octagon - Real Raw as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
