Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Marvin Vettori (ranked 2781 p4p, 2576 weight class) and Bartholomäus Wolff (ranked 349 p4p, 332 weight class). Vettori's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Police On My Back- The Rocketz. Marvin Vettori looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
