PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Cole Palmer (ranked 4480 p4p, 2589 weight class) and Darcy Walsh (ranked 390 p4p, 252 weight class). Palmer kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Cold Palmer. 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.
