PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Trent Denton (ranked 21501 p4p, 1755 weight class) and Nasir Prince (ranked 469 p4p, 173 weight class). Denton kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Never Gonna Give You Up (2022 Remaster). The crowd seem to be enjoying Prince's choice of entrance music: Nas- N.Y. State of Mind. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
