Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Paul Kruger (ranked 5687 p4p, 516 weight class) and Humberto Manuel Arboleda (ranked 10344 p4p, 653 weight class). Kruger kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Fire and Fury. Arboleda has chosen ASTAROTH - GUERRA DE METAL 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.
