PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kyle Kingsley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Enrique Gonzales (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kingsley comes into the arena with Blood Stained Nike's - Complete blaring out of the sound system. Gonzales has chosen Himno Nacional Mexicano as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Kyle Kingsley looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
