Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Tubo Lard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shia Locke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lard kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I'm Fat. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Shia Locke was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
