Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Abraxas J Hardpickle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Boobie Miles Iii (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hardpickle might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Get Schwifty. 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.
