Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Johnny Danielson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cactus Jack (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Johnny Danielson seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Stoney McCaned (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ruben Wiki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McCaned kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Alborosie - Herbalist. Wiki is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Reuben James . 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.
