Young Lions: Dixon v Wallace PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight kickboxing rules bout between Mark Magnifico (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kim Tae Hun (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Magnifico kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Justin Bieber ft. Ariana Grande - Let Me Think Bout You. Tae Hun is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: "Aegukga" South Korea National Anthem. Kim Tae Hun is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Nero La Croix (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ndamukong Suh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). La Croix's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, La Meme Chose. Suh is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Hail Mary. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
