PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kaoklai Khanomtom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexandre Nieto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Khanomtom might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jill Tracy - Pulling Your Insides Out. Nieto comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Bullet the Blue Sky kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
