Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Krzysztof Ulatowski (ranked 5601 p4p, 3587 weight class) and Aaron Petrov (ranked 440 p4p, 350 weight class). Ulatowski's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Heads Will Roll. Petrov is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Star.One - Original Badman Feat. Takura & Assassin. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
