PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Jason Tanner (ranked 1223 p4p, 156 weight class) and Veli Ilkka Perkules (ranked 3812 p4p, 393 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tanner might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sandy Davidson - The Green Hills of Tyrol. 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.
