Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between J Gay G (ranked 3567 p4p, 306 weight class) and Sargeant Cobra (ranked 2240 p4p, 232 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gay G might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Down. Cobra has chosen Cobra as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Sargeant Cobra has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
