Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Tom Louis (ranked 24013 p4p, 7028 weight class) and Damien OQuinn (ranked 737 p4p, 713 weight class). OQuinn is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by King Von Ft Lil Durk - All These N**gas.

Bradley Dunn had a terrible time trying to make weight. After initially coming in at 208.3, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. Stepping on the scales for a second time, he still failed to make the required weight and after much deliberation, his fight with Alex Alexandrov was cancelled. |
