Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Ken Irrawaddy (ranked 3916 p4p, 403 weight class) and Bryant Smith (ranked 3988 p4p, 413 weight class). Irrawaddy's entrance music is Laos Rules!. A fine choice. Smith is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Television - Marquee Moon. 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?
