Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight kickboxing rules bout between Chris Hernandez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Henri Joel Ajanlekoko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Henri Joel Ajanlekoko struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.0lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. 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?

Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Bhramananda Loveladdy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mick Mars (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mars has chosen Shout At The Devil as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Mick Mars was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
