Coming up we have a middleweight kickboxing rules bout between Chuck Lee (ranked 23421 p4p, 558 weight class) and Porky Nobriega (ranked 23046 p4p, 540 weight class). Lee comes to the ring accompanied by Titties and Coke "subliminal messages". I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Porky Nobriega was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Peter Hare (ranked 2882 p4p, 333 weight class) and He Mu (ranked 4218 p4p, 450 weight class). I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that He Mu was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
