Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Tshering Wangchuck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rico Verhoeven (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wangchuck kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Rapa - Rang Sem Kar Ga Mikar. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
