Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Marco Aerts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dennis Cruyff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Aerts kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Pitbull - Timber. Cruyff comes into a darkened arena with his song building. The Glitch Mob - Fortune Days kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
