PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Randall Cobb (ranked 3474 p4p, 354 weight class) and Isaac Arthur (ranked 2611 p4p, 265 weight class). Arthur comes into a darkened arena with his song building. The Fwurmi Pawadox kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
