PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Gregory Jules (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kung Fu Master (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Master has chosen Shaolin Monastic chanting as his entrance music. Gregory Jules had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.5lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Gregory Jules is staring across the ring at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
