PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Puck Heidegger (ranked 7778 p4p, 19715 weight class) and Nero La Croix (ranked 128 p4p, 232 weight class). La Croix has chosen Ca Plane Pour Moi as his entrance music. 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?
