PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Ramiro Araujo (ranked 23450 p4p, 3435 weight class) and Sean O Rally (ranked 371 p4p, 291 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Araujo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hava Nagila. Sean O Rally is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
