Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Lambert George (ranked 16598 p4p, 408 weight class) and Chris Deal (ranked 1776 p4p, 190 weight class). George's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Ca fait mal. 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?
