Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Tycho Brahe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aki Sunn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brahe's entrance music is Vices by StandStill. A fine choice. Sunn has chosen Yngwie Malmsteen Rising Force as his entrance music. 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.

Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Naughtius Maximus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Boris Gregorovitsj (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gregorovitsj has chosen Pink Panther Theme as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the ring it seems that Naughtius Maximus has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Naughtius Maximus seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
