PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Temirbek Yuldashev (ranked 3674 p4p, 3099 weight class) and Dante Black (ranked 392 p4p, 351 weight class). Yuldashev comes to the ring accompanied by My Heart Is Cold. Black is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Mack the Knife. Temirbek Yuldashev had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.5lbs, 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. Dante Black acknowledges the crowd's support as he enters the ring.
