Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Theodore Rothschild (ranked 5284 p4p, 3001 weight class) and Jacques Durand Jr (ranked 564 p4p, 395 weight class). Durand Jr is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Birdman & Lil Wayne - Stuntin' Like My Daddy. 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?
