PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bob Cook (ranked 653 p4p, 83 weight class) and Gustavo Fring (ranked 346 p4p, 50 weight class). Cook's entrance music is Lil Baby - Southside. A fine choice. Fring has chosen Bamboleo by The Gypsy Kings as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
