PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a bantamweight kickboxing rules bout between Kebin Belindon (ranked 7551 p4p, 7321 weight class) and Jashua Pasio (ranked 272 p4p, 268 weight class). Kebin Belindon had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.3lbs, 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. 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.
