PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Kevaughn Aldridge (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tom Dyer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Aldridge might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Smooth Criminal By Michael Jackson. Dyer has chosen Zack Hemsey – Don't Get In My Way 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 Tom Dyer was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
