Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Jacques Durand (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexander Berkman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Durand kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kaaris - S.E.V.R.A.N.. Berkman has chosen Panopticon - The Ghosts of Haymarket Square as his entrance music. On his way into the ring it seems that Jacques Durand has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Jacques Durand seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
