Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Conan Barbarian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Juan Alfonso (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alfonso has chosen ギターの神様だね as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Conan Barbarian had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. 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.

Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Truck The Icepick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aoki Masato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think The Icepick might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hollywood Undead - Tear It UP. 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.
