Coming up we have a bantamweight kickboxing rules bout between Kebin Belindon (ranked 25285 p4p, 3236 weight class) and Matt Lewis (ranked 270 p4p, 169 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Lewis's choice of entrance music: I Need You. Kebin Belindon had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Matt Lewis looks lathargic as he enters the arena. Wake up son, you're about to have a fight!
