PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Luis De Andrade (ranked 4666 p4p, 4985 weight class) and Nicolaas Vanderloo (ranked 434 p4p, 455 weight class). De Andrade's entrance music is Viva La Vida - Coldplay. A fine choice. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Nicolaas Vanderloo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
