Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Nero La Croix (ranked 19697 p4p, 24959 weight class) and Dick Doss (ranked 222 p4p, 230 weight class). La Croix kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ca Plane Pour Moi. 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.
