Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Mufasa Kofi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gavin Floyd (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Floyd has chosen Good For You - Selena Gomez as his entrance music. On his way into the ring it seems that Mufasa Kofi has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mufasa Kofi seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Ebrahim Azhari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Markus Remoreras (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Azhari's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Jedi Mind Tricks - Blood in Blood out. The crowd seem to be enjoying Remoreras's choice of entrance music: Ludacris feat. Nas and Jay-Z - I Do It For Hip-Hop. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
