PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tom Vasel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Edward Mendez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vasel comes into the arena with Battle of the Mounds-Basil Poledouris blaring out of the sound system. Mendez is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Big Pun-Dream Shatterer. 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?
