PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Marciano Cobb (ranked 3492 p4p, 22729 weight class) and Jonathan Davis (ranked 415 p4p, 506 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cobb might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Miley Cyrus - Party In The U.S.A.. Davis has chosen Korn - Freak On a Leash as his entrance music. Jonathan Davis told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
