PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Bigi Boi Chai (ranked 5178 p4p, 3455 weight class) and Zdravko Dren Jr (ranked 190 p4p, 122 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Chai might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dirt. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
