Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Antoni Sadowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vincenzo Nibali (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Antoni Sadowski had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.7lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Antoni Sadowski has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
