Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Phil Cosby (ranked 2282 p4p, 3839 weight class) and Jake Jones (ranked 73 p4p, 55 weight class). Cosby comes into the arena with I Want Your Sex blaring out of the sound system.

Phil Cosby has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
