PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a bantamweight kickboxing rules bout between Pedro Gomez (ranked 2321 p4p, 1375 weight class) and Ryan Anderson (ranked 163 p4p, 105 weight class). Gomez kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Hotel California (Spanish Mix). Anderson has chosen Chase the bag (King Von) as his entrance music. 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.
