PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Bardia Farrokhzad (ranked 3249 p4p, 2689 weight class) and Scottie Lowry (ranked 321 p4p, 270 weight class). Farrokhzad comes into the arena with Rastak - Hele Mali (Iranian Fisherman Folk Song) blaring out of the sound system. 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 Scottie Lowry was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
