Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Kung Fu Master (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Markus Remoreras (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Master kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Shaolin Monastic chanting. Remoreras comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Ludacris feat. Nas and Jay-Z - I Do It For Hip-Hop kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
