Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Matt Incons (ranked 6973 p4p, 5468 weight class) and Damien OQuinn (ranked 656 p4p, 598 weight class). OQuinn has chosen King Von Ft Lil Durk - All These N**gas as his entrance music. Matt Incons had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.3lbs, 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. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!

Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Aaron Lowell (ranked 7200 p4p, 2452 weight class) and Jason Tanner (ranked 663 p4p, 358 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lowell might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Neil Diamond - Sweet Caroline . Tanner is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Sandy Davidson - The Green Hills of Tyrol. 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?
