PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jeff Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lawrence Cohen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Anderson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, 'Trapped Under Ice' by Metallica. Cohen comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Season in the Abyss kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
