Rick Roufus was an American style kickboxer with championship belts from several organizations. After losing a fight to a much smaller Tai fighter years earlier due to his unfamiliarity with leg kicks, Roufus had incorporated Muay Thai techniques into his boxing heavy style with some incredible results.
Jerome LeBanner had been in K1 for 2 years, and had already defeated such greats as Mike Bernardo and Ernesto Hoost. Although he had a Kyokushin Karate background, he was inspired by Bruce Lee’s JKD to fight with his dominate hand forward, in southpaw. This resulted in a straight, powerful jab that helped him set up his tremendous power shots.
It was anyone's guess how these two unique styles would play out when pitted against each other.
