Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Vlad Darko (ranked 3008 p4p, 1818 weight class) and Chanthaphone Southanouvong (ranked 370 p4p, 239 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Darko might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ominous Drumming. Southanouvong has chosen Y-U- Smilin as his entrance music. On his way into the ring it seems that Vlad Darko has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Vlad Darko seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
