PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Roberto Congo (ranked 1943 p4p, 22736 weight class) and Jonathan Davis (ranked 257 p4p, 533 weight class). Davis is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Korn - Freak On a Leash. 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.
