Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Luis Sanchez (ranked 23136 p4p, 4622 weight class) and George Alexopoulos (ranked 475 p4p, 388 weight class). Sanchez kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kodak Black - Super Gremlin. Luis Sanchez looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.

Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Piger Whok (ranked 21729 p4p, 1945 weight class) and Leo Vuce (ranked 459 p4p, 204 weight class). Whok's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, King of Kings - Motorhead. Vuce has chosen MC Yankoo as his entrance music. 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.
