PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Iosefa Umaga (ranked 3975 p4p, 4584 weight class) and Grzegorz Crayewski (ranked 55 p4p, 64 weight class). Umaga's entrance music is Ky-Mani Marley - Warriors. A fine choice. Crayewski has chosen Flux Pavilion x Feed Me - Survive (feat. meesh) as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Grzegorz Crayewski will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
