PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Carlos Narvaez (ranked 3173 p4p, 23878 weight class) and Seung Joon (ranked 257 p4p, 358 weight class). Narvaez's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Ñetas for Life - Anvesh Mallick. Joon has chosen BewhY (비와이) – 가라사대 (GOTTASADAE) as his entrance music. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
