PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Marty Robbins (ranked 495 p4p, 60 weight class) and Angelo Mendez (ranked 715 p4p, 93 weight class). Robbins kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Big Iron. Mendez has chosen Angelito as his entrance music. Angelo Mendez has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
