Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Kung Fu Master (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fook Yu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Master might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Shaolin Monastic chanting. The crowd seem to be enjoying Yu's choice of entrance music: Drowning Pool - Bodies. 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.
