PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Anthony Pettis (ranked 2845 p4p, 54 weight class) and Bad Boy (ranked 4298 p4p, 174 weight class). Both these guys are coming into the fight with injuries so let's see if that has a bearing on the fight. Anthony Pettis looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
