PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Alen Zalac (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cray Stout (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Zalac might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Amazing - Kanye West. Stout has chosen ¨LONG HARD TIMES TO COME as his entrance music. Alen Zalac looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
