Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Blake Wightman (ranked 15930 p4p, 575 weight class) and Mamoru Takamura (ranked 23068 p4p, 577 weight class). Wightman kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is BFMV-You want a battle(here's a war). The crowd seem to be enjoying Takamura's choice of entrance music: Pay Money To My Pain - Weight Of My Pride. 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.

Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Rami Astalo (ranked 3028 p4p, 329 weight class) and Saenchai Sor. Khamsing (ranked 3498 p4p, 373 weight class). Astalo's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Limp Bizkit - Break Stuff. Sor. Khamsing comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Wai Khru Ram kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Scott Columbus (ranked 17628 p4p, 226 weight class) and Deacon Frost (ranked 2421 p4p, 90 weight class). Columbus kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Blood Of The Kings. 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.
