PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lester Cockenschtuff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Russell Jacobs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cockenschtuff kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Wynona's Big Brown Beaver by Primus. Jacobs has chosen Till I Collapse 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.
