PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Marcello Cobretti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rubin Carter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cobretti might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to White Zombie - Black Sunshine . Carter has chosen Hurricane as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Marcello Cobretti could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Rubin Carter's chin.
