Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Nero La Croix (ranked 18475 p4p, 23403 weight class) and Brian Upchurch (ranked 174 p4p, 132 weight class). La Croix comes to the ring accompanied by Ca Plane Pour Moi. Upchurch has chosen Quit Lyin as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
