PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rob Medley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sean Rodey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rodey has chosen The best song in the world as his entrance music. Rob Medley had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.0lbs, 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. Sean Rodey has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
