PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Gaizka Elizondo (ranked 20609 p4p, 5045 weight class) and Nedjeljko Krajisnik (ranked 535 p4p, 463 weight class). Elizondo's entrance music is Peewee Longway & Money Man - Ooowwweee. A fine choice. Krajisnik has chosen Sexual Harrassement - I Need a Freak as his entrance music. 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 Nedjeljko Krajisnik was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
