PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Duilio Tagliabue (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chupa Cobre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tagliabue might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Cage the Elephant - Ain't No Rest for the Wicked. Chupa Cobre is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
