PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Roman Kos (ranked 2376 p4p, 1543 weight class) and Rico Cole (ranked 296 p4p, 214 weight class). Cole is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Gerardo's Rico Suave. Cole has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Rico Cole struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 157.2lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Roman Kos has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
