PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Paul Bruens (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hidalgo Montoya (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bruens kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is River Below. Montoya has chosen El Toro as his entrance music. This should be a great matchup!
