PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Borys Mankowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tiago Mendez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mankowski's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Kękę -Wyjebane. Mendez has chosen Trap Door as his entrance music. Tiago Mendez told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
