Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Name Less (ranked 3237 p4p, 281 weight class) and Makunouchi Ippo (ranked 12997 p4p, 421 weight class). Ippo is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Indestructible. 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?
