PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Marciano Cobb (ranked 417 p4p, 60 weight class) and Damien The Omen (ranked 624 p4p, 90 weight class). Cobb kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Miley Cyrus - Party In The U.S.A.. The Omen has chosen Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden as his entrance music. 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.
