PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Jon Hess (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Junior Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hess might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Curl Of The Burl. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
