PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Mike Patton (ranked 8762 p4p, 700 weight class) and Niko Diaz (ranked 5577 p4p, 598 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Patton might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Imperial March (L.O.D. Rage Mix). Mike Patton had a look across the ring there at his opponent. He definitely means business
