Dynasty 199: HW clash PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Dan Viles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gregory Micheal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Viles's entrance music is Drop the world. A fine choice. Dan Viles had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.1lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Dan Viles could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Gregory Micheal's chin.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Al Al Kaholic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Black Belt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Al Kaholic comes to the ring accompanied by Cant Be Touched. Belt is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Bon Jovi - Blaze of Glory. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Black Belt was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Feyd Rautha Harkonnen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anthony Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Harkonnen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Headstones-Heart of Darkness. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
