PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Gemellus Axius (ranked 1458 p4p, 2282 weight class) and Cobweb Cooter (ranked 166 p4p, 244 weight class). Axius kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Feed the Machine. Cooter has chosen Porch Honky 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?
