PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Fortune Thibodeaux (ranked 6270 p4p, 4189 weight class) and Sacha Saganov (ranked 592 p4p, 460 weight class). Saganov has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Fortune Thibodeaux has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
