Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Donovan Butler (ranked 4676 p4p, 5498 weight class) and Paulie Richardson (ranked 525 p4p, 559 weight class). Paulie Richardson struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 268.0lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
