PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Chinza Machida (ranked 23865 p4p, 3080 weight class) and Derek Patterson (ranked 594 p4p, 359 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Machida might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Best Way To Die. Patterson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: I'm So High. Nashville Pussy. Derek Patterson struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.6lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Derek Patterson has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
