Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Ernst Young (ranked 3102 p4p, 408 weight class) and Victor Sharp (ranked 734 p4p, 113 weight class). Young comes to the ring accompanied by Eye Of The Tiger. Sharp has chosen Immortal Technique-Cause Of Death as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
