Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Cory McDonnell (ranked 17727 p4p, 605 weight class) and Sigurd Ragnarsson (ranked 5950 p4p, 535 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McDonnell might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jorge Quintero - 300 Violin Orchestra. Ragnarsson has chosen Wardruna-Blood Eagle as his entrance music. Sigurd Ragnarsson has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Jacques Durand (ranked 18342 p4p, 60 weight class) and Puck Heidegger (ranked 3558 p4p, 24 weight class). Durand's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Kaaris - S.E.V.R.A.N.. 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.
