PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Nikolai Magomedov (ranked 23361 p4p, 2847 weight class) and Daniel Dimitrov (ranked 141 p4p, 40 weight class). Dimitrov is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Drake - Energy. 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?
