PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Toke Axelsen (ranked 3715 p4p, 24249 weight class) and Akeen Coker (ranked 436 p4p, 577 weight class). Axelsen's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Slipknot - The Virus of Life. Akeen Coker told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
