PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Tom Kite (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Boris Gregorovitsj (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kite kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Plies feat. Lil Boosie - Big Thangs. Gregorovitsj has chosen Pink Panther Theme as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the ring.
