Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Costin Claudiu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dennis Johohanson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Claudiu kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Mice and Gods. 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.
