Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Theodore Cleaver (ranked 24932 p4p, 19589 weight class) and Tommy Lee (ranked 769 p4p, 783 weight class). Cleaver kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Methlabs & MOONSHINE. Lee has chosen Kickstart My Heart as his entrance music. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
