Coming up we have a bantamweight kickboxing rules bout between Ace Boogie (ranked 23628 p4p, 23641 weight class) and Jason Wysocki (ranked 301 p4p, 329 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Wysocki's choice of entrance music: Joe Exotic Country Music . 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 Jason Wysocki was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
