PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Kenny Smith (ranked 2204 p4p, 941 weight class) and Ngozi Chai (ranked 242 p4p, 123 weight class). Smith comes to the cage accompanied by IS THIS LOVE. On his way into the cage it seems that Kenny Smith has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Kenny Smith seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
