Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Fred Bizihwaeile (ranked 6817 p4p, 4123 weight class) and Damien Hawthorne (ranked 718 p4p, 538 weight class). Bizihwaeile comes to the ring accompanied by Playboi Carti- Red Bandana Santana. Hawthorne has chosen Schism by Tool as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Damien Hawthorne was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
