Coming up we have a light heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Theodore Epicity (ranked 2806 p4p, 1997 weight class) and Jon Rudskogen (ranked 370 p4p, 275 weight class). Epicity kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Tempest by Deftones. 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?
