PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jesus Martinez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bill Compton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Martinez's entrance music is Puya -- Sal Pa' Fuera. A fine choice. Compton has chosen Granville Bowlin - Wild Bill as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jesus Martinez has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
