Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Scott Columbus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stefan Van Der Sar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Columbus kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Hail and Kill. On his way into the ring it seems that Scott Columbus has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Scott Columbus seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Sher Shah Suri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Barney Rumble (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Suri kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bohemia - Kali Denali . The crowd seem to be enjoying Rumble's choice of entrance music: Queens of the Stone Age - My God is the Sun . 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.
