PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Efim Gracie (ranked 3735 p4p, 2636 weight class) and Ching Chang (ranked 345 p4p, 259 weight class). Gracie's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, MIDDLE CHILD- J Cole. Chang comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Hells Bells kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
