PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Abelardo De Leon (ranked 144 p4p, 368 weight class) and Keanu Marlin (ranked 23 p4p, 48 weight class). De Leon's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Mercenary - F.O.O.L. & Power Glove. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
