PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pablo Manjuelez (ranked 1417 p4p, 202 weight class) and Christian Volland (ranked 3590 p4p, 471 weight class). Manjuelez kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is el Jarabe Tapatio. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
