PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Marcelo Monteiro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyler Melendez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Monteiro kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is The King of Kings-Motorhead. Melendez has chosen Devour-Shinedown as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
