Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Ozzie Price (ranked 5114 p4p, 428 weight class) and Ravi Vamoosh (ranked 1664 p4p, 166 weight class). Price comes to the ring accompanied by Killer Mike - Big Beast. Vamoosh has chosen The Roaring Tiger 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.
