PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Charles Cooper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eulalio Gonzalez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cooper might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to s.mouse - slap my elbow. Gonzalez comes into a darkened arena with his song building. El party me llama 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.
