PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Jon Lewis St Clair (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus Brandao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think St Clair might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ready to Die. Brandao is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army. Marcus Brandao has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
