PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Craig Thomson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ruben Wiki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wiki is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Reuben James . 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.
