Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Axl Dokken (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michal Mocny (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dokken might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Cherry Pie "Warrant". Mocny has chosen Disturbed- Warrior as his entrance music. Michal Mocny has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Ahmad Massoud (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Humberto Manuel Arboleda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Massoud's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Kulobi. Arboleda is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: ASTAROTH - GUERRA DE METAL. Humberto Manuel Arboleda has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
