PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Luka Modric (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dominick Rivaldi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Modric kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Snoop Dogg - Poor Young Dave. Rivaldi has chosen Joker's Wild as his entrance music. Modric has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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.
