Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Carlos Batistuta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeff Speakman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Batistuta might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction. Jeff Speakman is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
