PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Norris Cole (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mauricio Rua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cole's entrance music is The Offspring - Why Don't You Get A Job. A fine choice. Rua has chosen Roy Jones - Can't be touched as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

The bell rings for round one and we are underway!

A momentary lapse in concentration from Cole enables Rua to shoot in and score with a neat double leg. Cole manages to secure a closed guard as the fighters hit the mat.
If this pace continues, the referee will definitely step in and force a standup.

Rua is trying to work a guillotine from the top, or something like that? Don't know how he thinks he's going to get a finish from there.

Rua is posturing up here but Cole has hold of an arm and he's gone for an armbar! Rua tries to roll out but it's too tight and Rua has to tap! Slick submission there by Cole!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:21 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Armbar). Norris Cole!
