Main event

Coming up we have a bantamweight kickboxing rules bout between Micah Hays (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ratan Negi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Negi comes into a darkened arena with his song building. 2pac-Tupac Picture Me Rollin kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Ratan Negi struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.1lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
