PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Marciano Cobb (ranked 202 p4p, 31 weight class) and Corban Storm (ranked 140 p4p, 23 weight class). Cobb's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Miley Cyrus - Party In The U.S.A.. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
