Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Markus Remoreras (ranked 10709 p4p, 682 weight class) and Hilton Teimosia (ranked 824 p4p, 101 weight class). Remoreras comes to the ring accompanied by Ludacris feat. Nas and Jay-Z - I Do It For Hip-Hop. 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 Hilton Teimosia was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
