Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Don Marciano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tubo Lard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Marciano comes to the ring accompanied by DEAD MAN'S GUN. Lard is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by I'm Fat. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
