PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Melvin Van Manhoef (ranked 4684 p4p, 4733 weight class) and Ezequiel Campos (ranked 426 p4p, 430 weight class). Campos is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Fumafu. 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.
