PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Scott Ferrozzo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Allen Key (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ferrozzo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to It's a Fight - Three 6 Mafia. Key has chosen Party and Bullshit - Biggie Smalls as his entrance music. 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.
