PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Reyes Devante (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kumogakure Darui (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Devante might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Mustasch / Thank You for the Demon. Darui is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Du hast. Kumogakure Darui is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
