Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Nero La Croix (ranked 20950 p4p, 250 weight class) and Alistair Spong (ranked 6702 p4p, 131 weight class). La Croix comes into the arena with Ca Plane Pour Moi blaring out of the sound system. Spong has chosen 2Pac - I'm A Soldier (Echale Mojo Remix) as his entrance music. On his way into the ring it seems that Nero La Croix has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Nero La Croix seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
