Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Norman Pearson (ranked 773 p4p, 1399 weight class) and Semmy Cobb (ranked 30 p4p, 59 weight class). Cobb comes into a darkened arena with his song building. You dropped the Bomb on me 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.
