PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Beta Tua (ranked 21553 p4p, 19840 weight class) and Riley Knox (ranked 583 p4p, 584 weight class). Knox has chosen Roy Jones Jr - I Smoke, I Drink feat. Mr. Magic & Youngbloodz) as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
