PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Atauallah Ganteaume (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yvgeny Molotov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ganteaume's entrance music is Black Label Society - Stillborn. A fine choice. Molotov is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Troika. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
