PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Theodore Epicity (ranked 2920 p4p, 19572 weight class) and Ao Kuang (ranked 378 p4p, 664 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Epicity might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Tempest by Deftones. 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.
