Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Murat Idrisov Ii (ranked 24907 p4p, 2674 weight class) and John Thunder (ranked 626 p4p, 284 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Idrisov Ii might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ruslana - Wild Dances. Thunder has chosen Thunderstruck - AcDc as his entrance music.
