Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Tibo Asztalos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arturo Rojas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rojas has chosen Brother Ali - Uncle Sam Goddamn as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
