Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Joe Cobsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pung Rundgung (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cobsen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Christafari - Valley Of Decisions. Rundgung comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Bullsonparade 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.
