PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Aaron Lowell (ranked 6912 p4p, 1775 weight class) and Jason Tanner (ranked 666 p4p, 249 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lowell might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Neil Diamond - Sweet Caroline . Tanner is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Sandy Davidson - The Green Hills of Tyrol. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
