PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Rory Birdwhistle (ranked 4256 p4p, 4348 weight class) and Massiel Tomás (ranked 341 p4p, 353 weight class). Birdwhistle comes to the ring accompanied by Davidian - Machine Head. 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 Massiel Tomás was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
