Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Haka Maka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thiago Almeida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Maka comes into the arena with Island Music blaring out of the sound system. Almeida is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by DANZA KUDURO by Don Omar. 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.
