PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Angus McZongo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Blasko Grims (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Grims has chosen KILLER BE KILLED - Wings Of Feather And Wax as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Blasko Grims was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
