PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Dru Quick (ranked 21531 p4p, 2563 weight class) and Russell Northrop (ranked 596 p4p, 103 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Quick might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Gangster's Paradise- Coolio. On his way into the ring it seems that Dru Quick has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Dru Quick seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
