Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Barney Rumble (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ronald McDonald (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rumble might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Queens of the Stone Age - My God is the Sun . 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.
