PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Leroy Hugo (ranked 3629 p4p, 369 weight class) and Salah Ad Din (ranked 22458 p4p, 624 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hugo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Eminem - Lose Yourself. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
