Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Alex Martens (ranked 2496 p4p, 1874 weight class) and Enzo Mendoza (ranked 283 p4p, 216 weight class). Martens comes to the cage accompanied by The XX - Intro. Alex Martens had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.1lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Enzo Mendoza has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
