Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Jacques Durand (ranked 18500 p4p, 155 weight class) and Nero La Croix (ranked 19104 p4p, 209 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Durand might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kaaris - S.E.V.R.A.N.. La Croix is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Ca Plane Pour Moi. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
