PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Tom Kite (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lucan The Butler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kite's entrance music is Plies feat. Lil Boosie - Big Thangs. A fine choice. The Butler is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Game of Thrones. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
