Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Sher Shah Suri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alistair Spong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Suri kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bohemia - Kali Denali . Spong has chosen 2Pac - I'm A Soldier (Echale Mojo Remix) as his entrance music. Alistair Spong 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!
