PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Gaizka Elizondo (ranked 22227 p4p, 3668 weight class) and Bald Martin (ranked 655 p4p, 456 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Elizondo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Peewee Longway & Money Man - Ooowwweee. Martin has chosen I’m Bald And I Know It as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the ring.
