Coming up we have a lightweight kickboxing rules bout between Kyle Kovingten (ranked 22888 p4p, 20203 weight class) and Ray Morrison (ranked 686 p4p, 688 weight class). Kovingten comes to the ring accompanied by Tool - Schism. Morrison has chosen Leave Me Alone 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 Ray Morrison was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
