PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Jao Rua (ranked 1546 p4p, 185 weight class) and Khabib Nurmagomedov (ranked 4402 p4p, 412 weight class). Rua kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Tarantula . Both these guys are coming into the fight with injuries so let's see if that has a bearing on the fight. Jao Rua is staring across the ring at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
