Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Sergei Dimitrovich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Kennedy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dimitrovich might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Wai Khru Ram Muay. Kennedy has chosen Frank Zappa - Echidna's Arf (Of You) as his entrance music. John Kennedy 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!
