PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Renato Gracie (ranked 4068 p4p, 19752 weight class) and Silva Scorpion (ranked 466 p4p, 662 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gracie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hail To The King by Avenged Sevenfold. The crowd seem to be enjoying Scorpion's choice of entrance music: Roy Jones Jr - I Smoke, I Drink feat. Mr. Magic & Youngbloodz). 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.
