Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Jerrone The Pimp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Kennedy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The Pimp comes to the ring accompanied by Big KRIT - New Agenda. Kennedy has chosen Frank Zappa - Echidna's Arf (Of You) 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.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Lorenzo Von Matterhorn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Don Marciano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Von Matterhorn comes to the ring accompanied by Sharp Dressed Man. Marciano has chosen DEAD MAN'S GUN 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.
