PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Jacques Durand (ranked 20538 p4p, 239 weight class) and Puck Heidegger (ranked 1245 p4p, 34 weight class). Durand's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Kaaris - S.E.V.R.A.N.. Puck Heidegger told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
