Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Dwan Diego (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oliver Buddington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Diego's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Jiu Jitsu. Buddington has chosen Night gown - Pillow fight! as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
