PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Anton Arellano (ranked 2108 p4p, 2915 weight class) and Shade Cole (ranked 171 p4p, 216 weight class). Cole is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Rattlesnake- King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. 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.
