PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Aaron Lowell (ranked 7200 p4p, 2452 weight class) and Jason Tanner (ranked 663 p4p, 358 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lowell might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Neil Diamond - Sweet Caroline . Tanner is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Sandy Davidson - The Green Hills of Tyrol. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
