PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between James Adams (ranked 3445 p4p, 90 weight class) and Datu Rizalia (ranked 1542 p4p, 70 weight class). Adams's entrance music is Thom Pace - Maybe. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Rizalia's choice of entrance music: Ballad of a dead soulja by tupac. Adams has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. This should be fireworks!
