PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Vrej Nazaryan (ranked 2766 p4p, 325 weight class) and Vlad Putin (ranked 3574 p4p, 399 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nazaryan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to DVBBS & Borgeous - Tsunami. Putin is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Rasputin Vladimir Putin Love The Way You Move. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
