Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Kevin Mayweather (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dwan Diego (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Diego has chosen Jiu Jitsu as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
