Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Grover Dowiyogo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oby dGreat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dowiyogo comes into the arena with another life - kano blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying dGreat's choice of entrance music: BLIND by KoRn. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
