Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between John Kennedy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Augustus Belmont (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Belmont has chosen War Is My Destiny - Ill Bill Feat. Immortal Technique as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Manchester Red (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dean Gibson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Luckily Manchester Red seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
