PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Dru Quick (ranked 22829 p4p, 2994 weight class) and Ari Baba (ranked 172 p4p, 110 weight class). Quick's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Gangster’s Paradise- Coolio. Ari Baba is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
