PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between DJ Gunnar (ranked 3157 p4p, 324 weight class) and Buzz Lightyear (ranked 21638 p4p, 765 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Lightyear's choice of entrance music: You got a Friend in Me. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
