Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Sexy Julian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexander Zalachenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Julian might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Right Said Fred - I'm too Sexy. Zalachenko has chosen Fistfull of Credit Cards as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Alexander Zalachenko will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
