PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Papoh Bamoya (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Melvin Manhoef (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bamoya might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lupang Hinirang. Manhoef has chosen Steady Mobbin' as his entrance music. Papoh Bamoya has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
