PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bob Cook (ranked 2792 p4p, 293 weight class) and Techno Viking (ranked 2094 p4p, 234 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cook might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lil Baby - Southside. Viking has chosen Techno Viking as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Bob Cook had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
